Techniques for Studying Aphid-Borne Virus Epidemiology

  • Chapter
Book cover Experimental Techniques in Plant Disease Epidemiology

Abstract

Epidemics caused by fungi pivot on complex interactions among the host plant, its pathogen, and the environment. Epidemics of plant-pathogenic viruses include a fourth element, the vector, which is usually an insect. Although being a specific case amongst dispersal mechanisms (see Rotem, Chap. 5), only the vector element compounds the complexity of the relationship by necessitating an understanding of the interactions between the pathogen and its vectors and between the vectors and the host plant of the virus. By adding the vector element to the system, studying plant-pathogenic virus epidemiology becomes more tightly interwoven. Even when plant-pathogenic fungi are transmitted by insects, the association between pathogen and vector is relatively loose, whereas the association between virus and vector is almost always intricate and complex.
