Aphid-borne viruses are responsible for major cucurbit diseases and hamper the sustainability of crop production. Systematic monitoring can reveal occurrence distribution these viruses, in addition to unadvertised facilitating control diseases. For three consecutive (2018–2020) seasons, presence aphid-borne was monitored from a total 292 samples watermelon squash plants that showed yellowing sy...

Relationships between agents in multitrophic systems are complex and very specific. Insect-transmitted plant viruses are completely dependent on the behaviour and distribution patterns of their vectors. The presence of natural enemies may directly affect aphid behaviour and spread of plant viruses, as the escape response of aphids might cause a potential risk for virus dispersal. The spatio-tem...

Background: Cucurbit aphid-borne yellows virus (CABYV) is among the most important yellowing viruses on cucurbits in Iran. The presence of CABYV has been previously reported from the major cucurbit growing areas in Iran, however, there are few studies concerning the detection of the diff erent strains of this virus in the grower’s fi elds, and especially, there is no report of ...

Cucurbit chlorotic yellows virus (CCYV) is a plant that causes damage to cucurbit crops such as watermelon and cucumber, transmitted by an insect vector known the whitefly. Since CCYV was first detected on cucumber in Chungbuk 2018, it has been reported other areas including Gyeongsang Korea. In 2020, we performed field surveys of yellowing diseases greenhouses growing melon (Jincheon Eumseong)...
