Research Project: Collaborative Research on Emerging Plant Viruses and Their Insect Vectors

Location: Subtropical Plant Pathology Research

Project Number: 6034-22000-042-010-S
Project Type: Non-Assistance Cooperative Agreement

Start Date: Sep 1, 2014
End Date: Aug 31, 2019

Objective:
Develop experimental transmission system to study insect vectoring of emerging plant viruses

Approach:
Growth chamber and greenhouse experiments with plants infected with emerging viruses will be used to develop the experimental transmission system to define transmission parameters. Previously developed diagnostic assays will be used to monitor transmission.
