The genus Tospovirus is unique within the family Bunyaviridae in that it is made up of
viruses that infect plants. Initially documented over 100 years ago, tospoviruses have …

During the past three decades, the economic impact of tospoviruses has increased, causing
high yield losses in a variety of crops and ornamentals. Owing to the difficulty in combating …

Pandemics of vector-borne human and plant diseases often depend on the behaviors of
their arthropod vectors. Arboviruses, including many bunyaviruses, manipulate vector …

Negative-strand (-) RNA viruses (NSVs) comprise a large and diverse group of viruses that
are generally divided in those with non-segmented and those with segmented genomes …

Tospoviruses are among the most important plant pathogens and cause serious crop losses
worldwide. Tospoviruses have evolved to smartly utilize the host cellular machinery to …

Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) is the type member of the genus Orthotospovirus in the
family Tospoviridae and order Bunyavirales. TSWV, transmitted by several species of thrips …

Plant viruses rely on both host plant and vectors for a successful infection. Essentially to
simplify studies, transmission has been considered for decades as an interaction between …

The Bunyaviridae is a family of arboviruses including both plant-and vertebrate-infecting
representatives. The Tospovirus genus accommodates plant-infecting bunyaviruses, which …

Antiviral RNA silencing/interference (RNAi) of negative-strand (-) RNA plant viruses (NSVs)
has been studied less than for single-stranded, positive-sense (+) RNA plant viruses. From …

RNA virus infection in plants and invertebrates can produce virus‐derived small RNAs.
These RNAs share features with host endogenous small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). They …
