| wolbachia occurrence in planthopper (hemiptera: delphacidae) vectors of cereal viruses in argentina. | maize (zea mays l.) and wheat (triticum aestivum l.) are the most important cereal crops for the argentinean economy and are affected by several diseases. different planthopper species transmit causal agents of some of those diseases, including mal de río cuarto virus, barley yellow striate mosaic virus, and the recently proposed maize yellow striate virus. many planthopper species are sap feeders and therefore are expected to host bacteria providing essential nutrients lacking in the diet. prev ... | 2015 | 26470291 |
| co-infection with a wheat rhabdovirus causes a reduction in mal de río cuarto virus titer in its planthopper vector. | mal de río cuarto virus (mrcv, fijivirus, reoviridae) causes one of the most important diseases in maize (zea mays l.) in argentina and has been detected in mixed infections with a rhabdovirus closely related to maize yellow striate virus. in nature both viruses are able to infect maize and several grasses including wheat, and are transmitted in a persistent propagative manner by delphacodes kuscheli fennah (hemiptera: delphacidae). this work describes the interactions between mrcv and rhabdovir ... | 2017 | 28891462 |
