We find that (1) virus prevalence is greater in cultivated areas in both locations, but that plant diversity is negatively associated with family-level diversity of plant-associated viruses ...

Physostegia chlorotic mottle virus (PhCMoV), a plant disease first identified ... data to improve knowledge on PhCMoV biology, epidemiology, and genetic diversity. The researchers identified ...

This is thus an explanation why multipartite viruses infect plants rather than animals. The researchers from Tokyo Tech continue to investigate the epidemiology of different types of infectious ...

epidemiology and modeling of plant diseases; and the diagnosis and control of plant diseases, including chemical, biological, and integrated methods of control.

"Our study shows the usefulness of wastewater-based epidemiology and its importance ... were rich in viral diversity, with most viruses being plant-infecting. Other human viruses of interest ...

Even pathogenic viruses can be beneficial for its host under certain circumstances: e.g., virus-infected plants showed a higher drought tolerance than the non-infected ones. We are studying the ...

Thanks to novel techniques, identifying plant viruses is no longer based on guessing the identity of the virus and choosing the methods of identification accordingly. Now, a sample of the plant will ...
