Interpretive Summary: This chapter provides updates on novel strategies for management of arthropod vectors and vector-borne vegetable diseases. It highlights the fact that control of vectors and diseases are interwoven, and describes the emergence of new vector-borne diseases of vegetables. This chapter will be useful for a diverse audience interested in a wide variety of vegetable crops. This includes growers, extension agents, diagnosticians, teachers, researchers and regulatory officials.

Technical Abstract: Information on novel strategies for management of arthropod vectors and vector-borne vegetable diseases is provided in this chapter. Particular emphasis is placed on the interrelated nature of vectors and diseases, and the fact that their control is interwoven. Molecular and neighborhood pest management strategies are discussed, as is canine detection of plant pathogens. This information will be useful for growers, extension agents, diagnosticians, teachers, researchers and regulatory officials in all vegetable-producing regions of the world.
