| transmission of six ampeloviruses and two vitiviruses to grapevine by phenacoccus aceris. | grapevine leafroll disease is caused by grapevine leafroll-associated viruses (glravs). these viruses are common in vineyards worldwide and often associated with vitiviruses that are involved in the rugose wood complex of grapevine. ten mealybug species are known as vectors of one or several of these grapevine viruses, including the apple mealybug phenacoccus aceris which is widespread in holarctic regions and able to transmit grapevine leafroll-associated virus-1 and -3 (glrav-1 and -3). our ai ... | 2012 | 22439861 |
| identification of mealybug pest species (hemiptera: pseudococcidae) in egypt and france, using a dna barcoding approach. | pseudococcidae (mealybugs) is a large taxonomic group, including a number of agronomic pests. taxonomic identification of mealybug species is a recurrent problem and represents a major barrier to the establishment of adequate pest management strategies. we combined molecular analysis of three dna markers (28s-d2, cytochrome oxidase i and internal transcribed spacer 2) with morphological examination, for the identification of 176 specimens collected from 40 mealybug populations infesting various ... | 2012 | 22360997 |
| biology and control of the apple mealybug phenacoccus aceris (signoret) in belgium. | although in general very rare, some outbreaks of the apple mealybug phenococcus aceris (signoret) (hemiptera: pseudococcidae) were reported in the belgian fruit growing area recently. this insect is known to be geographically widespread, to have a broad host range and to infest apple trees. damage at harvest is considerable when sooty molds, a consequence of the pest's honeydew production, cover the fruits. indirect damage of an infection is caused in cherry cultivation through transmission of t ... | 2014 | 26084103 |
