Aphid-transmitted viruses and their vectors of the world
Plant viruses are among the most important, complex and extensively distributed plant pathogens in the world, and aphids are the largest group of known plant-virus vectors. With the viruses they transmit, aphids are a potential threat to agricultural crops. For epidemiological studies, it is important to know all the aphids that transmit a certain virus and vice versa. This bulletin accumulates all recognized aphid-transmitted virus records from the "Conspectus" (Kennedy et al. 1962). Standardized authoritative nomenclatures for both the aphid-transmitted viruses, their vectors and natural hosts are provided in accordance with the literature. It consists of 5 catalogues: a catalogue of all recognized aphid-transmitted viruses, listing under each the aphid vectors; a reciprocal catalogue of aphids, listing under each the viruses transmitted; a virus catalogue, listing under each the natural hosts; a reciprocal catalogue of natural hosts, listing under each the viruses infected; and a catalogue of the geographical distribution of aphid-transmitted viruses. This bulletin is a quick reference for economic, applied and agricultural entomologists and virologists at universities and research institutes
