Strains naturally infecting certain other hosts are also known as abaca mosaic potyvirus (Eloja and Tinsley, 1963) and as maize dwarf mosaic potyvirus strain B (Mackenzie et al., 1966; Louie and Knoke, 1975). Until recently, most aphid-borne potyviruses infecting sugarcane and other members of the Poaceae were assumed to be either sugarcane mosaic virus or maize dwarf mosaic virus. However, new criteria for speciation of these members of the Potyviridae have been proposed (Shukla et al., 1989; Shukla et al., 1992; Shukla and Ward, 1994): the amino-acid sequence homology of their coat proteins, and serological relationships with antisera derived from epitopes in the amino terminus rather than the core region of the coat protein. Using these criteria, virus isolates previously included as strains of sugarcane mosaic virus or maize dwarf mosaic virus have been placed in four distinct viruses: sugarcane mosaic virus itself (USA strains A, B, D and E, Australian strains SC, BC and Sabi, and USA maize dwarf mosaic strain B); Johnsongrass mosaic virus (Australian sugarcane mosaic virus strain JG, USA maize dwarf mosaic strains O and Kansas 1; Shukla and Teakle, 1989; McKern et al., 1990; note that Johnsongrass is Sorghum halepense); maize dwarf mosaic virus (USA strains A, D, E and F; Ford et al., 1989); and sorghum mosaic virus (USA sugarcane mosaic virus strains H, I and M; Shukla et al., 1989). For further information, see Taxonomy section of data sheet on maize dwarf mosaic potyvirus. Description Particles are flexuous filaments of about 750 x 13 nm (Teakle et al., 1989). The coat protein comprises a single polypeptide species of Mr 35,000 and 328 amino-acid residues (Frenkel et al., 1991). Partial amino-acid sequences for coat protein of the sugarcane, Queensland blue couch grass and Sabi grass strains are given by Shukla et al. (1987). The nucleic acid is a single ssRNA species of ca Mr 3,400,000, which comprises ca 5% of the weight of the particle (Berger et al., 1988; Frenkel et al., 1991). Distribution SCMV is present in most of the major sugarcane-producing countries of the world. Exceptions are Mozambique and Guyana (Koike and Gillaspie, 1989), Mauritius (Ricaud, 1980) and possibly Madeira (ISSCT, 1989). http://www.cabi.org/cpc/datasheetreport?dsid=49801 2/19 24/7/2017 Datasheet report for Sugarcane mosaic virus (mosaic of abaca) Since the recent realization that sorghum mosaic virus (previously called sugarcane mosaic virus strains H, I and M) as well as SCMV can cause mosaic of sugarcane, the identity of potyviruses in sugarcane has been in doubt in some countries. On the basis of the current taxonomic criteria, all isolates of potyviruses infecting sugarcane in Australia have been found to be sugarcane mosaic virus. However, in Louisiana, USA, most recent isolates are sorghum mosaic virus (previously sugarcane mosaic virus strains H, I and M; Grisham, 1994). Sorghum mosaic virus (SCMV-H) is also known to occur in Japan (Gillaspie and Mock, 1979) and India (Kondaiah and Nayudu, 1984). The viruses infecting sugarcane in many other countries is unclear. In some countries, some potyviruses that were previously called SCMV and that infect grasses are now classed as sorghum mosaic, Johnsongrass mosaic or maize dwarf mosaic viruses. For example, SCMV-johnsongrass strain in Australia is now called Johnsongrass mosaic virus (Shukla and Teakle, 1989). In Japan, a SCMV resembling the A strain occurs in Paspalum conjugatum and can infect some sugarcane varieties on inoculation (Ohtsu and Gomi, 1985). In Australia, SCMV is localized in Queensland and unrecorded in other states; it has not been seen for several years in New South Wales, but could still be present there (DS Teakle, University of Queensland, Australia, personal communication, 1996).

(Poaceae) are important components in the feed that is used to rear animals for meat and milk production. Aphids are among the insects that feed on these forage species and, at high population levels, greatly reduce the amount and quality of forage.

  • Advances in Understanding the Ecology of Invasive Crop Insect
    Invasive insect pests and IPM Invasive insect pests and IPM Advances in understanding the ecology of invasive crop insect pests and their impact on IPM Robert Venette, USDA Forest Service, USA; and Amy Morey, University of Minnesota, USA 1 Introduction 2 Ecology of invasive species 3 Invasive species management strategies 4 Relationship of invasive species management to IPM 5 Future trends 6 Acknowledgements 7 Where to look for further information 8 References 1 Introduction Invasive species remain one of the greatest threats to the productivity and sustainability of agriculture, forests, prairies and wetlands (Lovett et al., 2016; Paini et al., 2016). By definition these species are alien (i.e. non-native) to some ecosystems in which they now occur. In their adventive geographic range, they lack co-evolutionary history with the native flora and fauna. As a result, hosts are bereft of specific resistance mechanisms, and no specialized co-evolved natural enemies occur to regulate pest population growth. Alien species become invasive when they cause, or are likely to cause, economic, ecological or social (including human health) harms. Indeed, most insect pests of agriculture and forestry are non-native and efforts to control them dominate applied entomology (Liebhold and Griffin, 2016). The most recent update to the National Road Map for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) places a special emphasis on invasive species (OPMP, 2018). Previous experiences with insect invasions helped to shape modern awareness of the challenges posed by invasive species. For example, invasion by the North American grape phylloxera, Viteus vitifoliae, devastated European vineyards and inspired European nations to enact some of the first quarantine regulations globally to prevent the introduction of insect pests.

The list includes records before 1992, which have been published in previous papers, as well as data from an almost ten-year survey using Rothamsted suction traps and Moericke traps. The recorded aphidofauna consisted of 301 species. The family Aphididae is represented by 13 subfamilies and 120 genera (300 species), while only one genus (1 species) belongs to Phylloxeridae. The aphid fauna is dominated by the subfamily Aphidi- nae (57.1 and 68.4 % of the total number of genera and species, respectively), especially the tribe Macrosiphini, and to a lesser extent the subfamily Eriosomatinae (12.6 and 8.3 % of the total number of genera and species, respectively).

Received: 13 May 2020; Accepted: 15 July 2020; Published: date Abstract: Potyviruses are the largest group of plant infecting RNA viruses that cause significant losses in a wide range of crops across the globe. The majority of viruses in the genus Potyvirus are transmitted by aphids in a non-persistent, non-circulative manner and have been extensively studied vis-à-vis their structure, taxonomy, evolution, diagnosis, transmission and molecular interactions with hosts. This comprehensive review exclusively discusses potyviruses and their transmission by aphid vectors, specifically in the light of several virus, aphid and plant factors, and how their interplay influences potyviral binding in aphids, aphid behavior and fitness, host plant biochemistry, virus epidemics, and transmission bottlenecks. We present the heatmap of the global distribution of potyvirus species, variation in the potyviral coat protein gene, and top aphid vectors of potyviruses. Lastly, we examine how the fundamental understanding of these multi-partite interactions through multi-omics approaches is already contributing to, and can have future implications for, devising effective and sustainable management strategies against aphid- transmitted potyviruses to global agriculture.
