Cereal aphids are vectors of at least 11 species of Barley Yellow Dwarf Viruses (BYDV) in
wheat that alone and/or in combination can cause between 5%–80% grain yield losses …

Yellow dwarf viruses are the most economically important and widespread viruses of cereal
crops. Although they share common biological properties such as phloem limitation and …

This review summarizes research on virus diseases of cereals and oilseeds in Australia
since the 1950s. All viruses known to infect the diverse range of cereal and oilseed crops …

The barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) of cereals is thought to substantially increase the high-
temperature tolerance of its aphid vector, Rhopalosiphum padi, which may enhance its …

Plant viruses transmitted by vector pests are one of the most important worldwide threats to
global food production and security. Biological control strategies to enhance natural …

Our understanding of the ecological interactions between plant viruses, their insect vectors,
and their host plants has increased rapidly over the past decade. The suite of viruses known …

The deciphering of the epidemiology of a plant virus has long been focused on the study of
interactions between partners of one pathosystem. However, plants are exposed to …

Most studies that have explored the effect of biological control in maintaining pest
populations at acceptable levels have focused on the ability of natural enemies to reduce …

Cereals are some of the most important global crops that contribute directly and indirectly to
the production of food for human consumption. Cereal aphids can cause significant damage …

BACKGROUND Neonicotinoid insecticide seed treatments were withdrawn from use on
cereal crops in the European Union (EU) in 2018 exposing the crops to yellow dwarf viruses …
