Cyclic Epidemics of Aphid-Borne Potato Viruses in Northern Seed-Potato-Growing Areas

  • Chapter
Advances in Disease Vector Research

Part of the book series: Advances in Disease Vector Research ((VECTOR,volume 7))

Abstract

In the “potato belt,” along the northern New Brunswick—Maine border, the author sees epidemiology of aphid-transmitted viruses in seed potatoes as a clash between two cycles (7, 8). The leading participants in the act are the “native” northern aphids, potential vectors of the mosaic viruses, potato viruses Y (PVY) and A (PVA), and their more famous “southern cousin,” Myzus persicae Sulz., the principal vector of the potato leaf roll virus (PLRV).
