Potyviruses are the largest group of plant infecting RNA viruses that cause significant losses
in a wide range of crops across the globe. The majority of viruses in the genus Potyvirus are …

Vector‐borne pathogens and parasites can induce changes in the phenotypes of their hosts
that influence the frequency and nature of host–vector interactions and hence transmission …

Viruses are common agents of plant infectious diseases. During last decades, worldwide
agriculture production has been compromised by a series of epidemics caused by new …

Plant viruses possess adaptations for facilitating acquisition, retention, and inoculation by
vectors. Until recently, it was hypothesized that these adaptations are limited to virus …

Epidemiology is the science of how disease develops in populations, with applications in
human, animal and plant diseases. For plant diseases, epidemiology has developed as a …

The underlying structure of epidemiological models, and the questions that models can be
used to address, do not necessarily depend on the host organism in question. This means …

Plant viruses are an important constraint to crop production world‐wide. Rarely have plant
virologists, vector entomologists and crop specialists worked together in search of …

As a result of human activities, an ever-increasing portion of Earth's natural landscapes now
lie adjacent to agricultural lands. This border between wild and agricultural communities …

The transmission of insect‐vectored diseases entails complex interactions among
pathogens, hosts and vectors. Chemistry plays a key role in these interactions; yet, little work …

Plant virus diseases constitute one of the limiting factors to the productivity of agriculture.
Changes in host plants and insect vector populations that might result from climate change …
