• Chronology of green bean viruses in Wisconsin & New York

• Dynamics of spread

• 2017 – 2019 Research Objective – Determine whether low populations of , Aphis glycines, correspond with low infection rates of recent virus infections () Dr. Brian A. Nault, Professor • Future directions and new steps Cornell University Green Bean Virus Complex (2003 – Present)

Major Viruses:

Bean common mosaic virus (BCMV – seedborne/aphid) Bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV - aphid) Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV - aphid) CMV Alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV – aphid) Clover yellow vein virus (CLYVV – aphid)

Minor Viruses: CLYVV Tobacco ringspot virus (TRV-nematode) Tomato ringspot (TmRSV-nematode) (SMV – seedborne/aphid) -2 (WMV-2 - aphid) CMV impact on snap bean yield

Food Ingestion - pathogen Egestion - pathogen particles particles attach to maxillary lumen released with saliva

Ingestion Salivation Non-persistent transmission

Acquisition time - time required to acquire pathogen Seconds

Inoculation time - time required by infectious to inoculate a susceptible host Seconds

Latent period - (minimum time between acquisition of a pathogen and ability to transmit) Zero

Retention time - time after acquisition that a vector remains capable of transmitting the virus Minutes to hours Research objectives

• To monitor activity of winged soybean aphids in snap bean fields

• To assess incidence of CMV in snap bean fields

• Evaluate the influence of cultivar and local landscape on insect abundance and virus incidence Aphid collection methods - New York

Sampling aphids

• New York only • 2017 & 2018 • 3 periods (early, middle and late) • 4 fields/ period • 3 traps/ field • Sampled weekly • Aphids identified to species

 Weekly captures of dispersing aphid species.
