<i>Rice stripe virus</i>: Exploring Molecular Weapons in the Arsenal of a Negative-Sense RNA Virus

Rice stripe disease caused by virus (RSV) is one of the most devastating plant viruses rice and causes enormous losses in production. RSV transmitted from to small brown planthopper ( Laodelphax striatellus) a circulative–propagative manner. The recent reemergence this pathogen East Asia since 2000 has made studied over past two decades. Extensive studies have resulted substantial advances regarding fundamental aspects infection. Here, we compile analyze information on with special emphasis strategies that adopted establish infections. These include replication movement host plants vector, innate immunity defenses against infection, epidemiology, management disease. Understanding these issues will facilitate design novel antiviral therapies for contribute more detailed understanding negative-sense virus–host interactions at molecular level.
