Transmission of Plant Diseases by Insects TRANSMISSION OF PLANT DISEASES BY INSECTS George N. Agrios University of Florida Gainesville, Florida, USA Plant diseases appear as pathogenic organism (some fungi, some necrotic areas, usually spots of various bacteria, some nematodes, all protozoa shapes and sizes on leaves, shoots, causing disease in plants, and many and fruit; as cankers on stems; as viruses) depends on for transmission blights, wilts, and necrosis of shoots, from one plant to another, and on which branches and entire plants; as some pathogens depend on for survival discolorations, malformations, galls, and (Fig. 1). root rots, etc. Regardless of their The importance of insect appearance, plant diseases interfere transmission of plant diseases has with one or more of the physiological generally been overlooked and greatly functions of the plant (absorption and underestimated. Many plant diseases in translocation of water and nutrients from the field or in harvested plant produce the soil, photosynthesis, etc.), and become much more serious and thereby reduce the ability of the plant to damaging in the presence of specific or grow and produce the product for which non-specific insect vectors that spread it is cultivated. Plant diseases are the pathogen to new hosts. Many generally caused by microscopic insects facilitate the entry of a pathogen organisms such as fungi, bacteria, into its host through the wounds the nematodes, protozoa, and parasitic insects make on aboveground or green algae, that penetrate, infect, and belowground plant organs. In some feed off one or more types of host cases, insects help the survival of the plants; submicroscopic organisms such pathogen by allowing it to overseason in as viruses and viroids that enter, infect, the body of the insect. Finally, in many spread systemically and affect the cases, insects make possible the growth of their host plants; parasitic existence of a plant disease by higher plants which range from about an obtaining, carrying, and delivering into inch to several feet in size and penetrate host plants pathogens that, in the and feed off their host plants.

It is offered as a guess deficiencies, extremes in temperature that 30-40% of the damage and losses and soil moisture, etc. that affect the caused by plant diseases is due to the normal growth and survival of affected direct or indirect effects of transmission plants. and facilitation of pathogens by insects. Of the aforementioned causes of Insects and related organisms, disease, many of the microscopic such as mites, are frequently involved in organisms and of the viruses are the transmission of plant pathogens transmitted by insects either accidentally from one plant organ, or one plant, to (several fungi and bacteria) or by a another on which then the pathogens specific insect vector on which the cause disease. Equally important is that insects can and do transmit pathogens pathogen with the plant sap they eat. among plants from one field to another, Subsequently, the pathogen circulates in many cases even when the fields are through the body of the insect until, with several to many miles apart. Almost all or without further multiplication in the types of pathogens, that is, fungi, insect, the pathogen reaches the bacteria, viruses, nematodes, and salivary glands and the mouthparts of protozoa, can be transmitted by insects. the insect through which it is injected Insects transmit pathogens, such as into the next plant on which the insect many fungi and bacteria, mostly feeds (Fig. 3). externally on their legs, mouthparts, and bodies.

The insects that transmit fungi produced within or between plant cells, and bacteria externally on their bodies escape to the surface of their host and legs belong to many orders of plants as droplets or masses of sticky insects.

Bacterial soft rots cause The type of insect transmission of tremendous losses worldwide, bacteria is probably quite common and particularly in the warmer climates and widespread among bacterial diseases of the tropics. They are caused primarily plants, but it is passive and haphazard, by the bacterium Erwinia carotovora pv. depending a great deal on the carotovora, to some extent by availability of wounds or moisture on the Pseudomonas fluorescens and Ps. plant surface. In any case, there are few chrysanthemi, and, occasionally, by data on how frequently such species of Bacillus and Clostridium. The transmission occurs, and many last two genera of bacteria cause rotting conclusions about it are the result of of potatoes and of cut fleshy leaves in conjecture. A further point that has been storage while Pseudomonas fluorescens made is that insects which, whether and Ps. chrysanthemi cause soft rots of above or below ground, wound the host many fleshy fruits and fleshy plant organs (roots, shoots, fruit, etc.) by vegetables.

Boucher August 2020 © 2020 Matthew T. Boucher THE ECOLOGY OF INSECT MEDIATED TRANSMISSION OF THE FIRE BLIGHT PATHOGEN, ERWINIA AMYLOVORA, BY ORCHARD DWELLING DIPTERANS Matthew T. Boucher, Ph. D. Cornell University 2020 Fire blight, caused by the bacterial pathogen Erwinia amylovora, is a devastating disease of pome fruit with worldwide distribution. The disease gets its name from the scorched appearance of diseased tissue and infects all tissue types of pomaceous fruit. Tissue in the early stages of infection exude a bacterial ooze containing the bacteria in a polysaccharide matrix, which acts as primary and secondary inoculum. Insects have been implicated in the transmission of E. amylovora since the pathogen was first discovered, with various mechanisms for insect mediated transmission proposed. The goal of this research was to further define the role of insects in transmission of E. amylovora by identifying its most important potential vectors in New York State and advancing our knowledge of the ecology of transmission by insects. In chapter 1, we describe field surveys used to identify key insect vectors over the course of a growing season, showing that while pollinating hymenopterans historically received attention as springtime disease disseminators, dipterans have an understudied and potentially outsized role in transmission throughout the entire season. Various families of Diptera were observed feeding on bacterial ooze and could shed bacteria for at least six days following an acquisition event from ooze.

These new viruses are poorly characterized and new approaches are needed predict the host species these viruses pose a risk to. The rhabdoviruses are a diverse family of RNA viruses that includes important pathogens of humans, animals, and plants. We have discovered thirty-two new rhabdoviruses through a combination of our own RNA sequencing of insects and searching public sequence databases. Combining these with previously known sequences we reconstructed the phylogeny of 195 rhabdovirus by guest on December 14, 2015 sequences, and produced the most in depth analysis of the family to date. In most cases we know nothing about the biology of the viruses beyond the host they were identified from, but our dataset provides a powerful phylogenetic approach to predict which are vector-borne viruses and which are specific to vertebrates or arthropods.

  • And Giant Guitarfish (Rhynchobatus Djiddensis)
    VIRAL DISCOVERY IN BLUEGILL SUNFISH (LEPOMIS MACROCHIRUS) AND GIANT GUITARFISH (RHYNCHOBATUS DJIDDENSIS) BY HISTOPATHOLOGY EVALUATION, METAGENOMIC ANALYSIS AND NEXT GENERATION SEQUENCING by JENNIFER ANNE DILL (Under the Direction of Alvin Camus) ABSTRACT The rapid growth of aquaculture production and international trade in live fish has led to the emergence of many new diseases. The introduction of novel disease agents can result in significant economic losses, as well as threats to vulnerable wild fish populations. Losses are often exacerbated by a lack of agent identification, delay in the development of diagnostic tools and poor knowledge of host range and susceptibility. Examples in bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) and the giant guitarfish (Rhynchobatus djiddensis) will be discussed here. Bluegill are popular freshwater game fish, native to eastern North America, living in shallow lakes, ponds, and slow moving waterways. Bluegill experiencing epizootics of proliferative lip and skin lesions, characterized by epidermal hyperplasia, papillomas, and rarely squamous cell carcinoma, were investigated in two isolated poopulations. Next generation genomic sequencing revealed partial DNA sequences of an endogenous retrovirus and the entire circular genome of a novel hepadnavirus. Giant Guitarfish, a rajiform elasmobranch listed as ‘vulnerable’ on the IUCN Red List, are found in the tropical Western Indian Ocean. Proliferative skin lesions were observed on the ventrum and caudal fin of a juvenile male quarantined at a public aquarium following international shipment. Histologically, lesions consisted of papillomatous epidermal hyperplasia with myriad large, amphophilic, intranuclear inclusions. Deep sequencing and metagenomic analysis produced the complete genomes of two novel DNA viruses, a typical polyomavirus and a second unclassified virus with a 20 kb genome tentatively named Colossomavirus.

Histological studies revealed that the Erythroneura species induced white stipples on the leaves and that these leafhoppers produced thin salivary sheaths in grapevine leaf tissues. The DC-EPG system allowed the characterization of five waveforms associated with stylet penetration and feeding in leaf tissues. These waveforms were characteristic of feeding phases corre- sponding to epidermis penetration pathway, salivation, and ingestion. We calculated 28 parameters (e.g., number of probes, duration of phases, and time spent in the various tissues) to describe and compare the feeding behavior of the Erythroneura species.

Bosque-Pérez3, Kevin S. Powell4, Accepted: 19 February 2016 Beatriz Dader1,5, Angela J. Freeman2, Alan L. Yen2, Glenn J. Fitzgerald6 & Jo E. Luck7 Published: 04 March 2016 Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration has increased significantly and is projected to double by 2100. To increase current food production levels, understanding how pests and diseases respond to future climate driven by increasing CO2 is imperative. We investigated the effects of elevated CO2 (eCO2) on the interactions among wheat (cv. Yitpi), Barley yellow dwarf virus and an important pest and virus vector, the bird cherry-oat aphid (Rhopalosiphum padi), by examining aphid life history, feeding behavior and plant physiology and biochemistry. Our results showed for the first time that virus infection can mediate effects of eCO2 on plants and pathogen vectors. Changes in plant N concentration influenced aphid life history and behavior, and N concentration was affected by virus infection under eCO2. We observed a reduction in aphid population size and increased feeding damage on noninfected plants under eCO2 but no changes to population and feeding on virus-infected plants irrespective of CO2 treatment. We expect potentially lower future aphid populations on noninfected plants but no change or increased aphid populations on virus-infected plants therefore subsequent virus spread. Our findings underscore the complexity of interactions between plants, insects and viruses under future climate with implications for plant disease epidemiology and crop production. Climate change is of global concern due to its predicted impacts on the environment and agriculture.

Jaramillo1 , José-Joaquín Celeita1, Adriana Sáenz1 Abstract The seed maggot, Delia platura, is a major pest of spinach crops in the savanna of Bogotá. In Colombia, chemical insecticides are used to manage the pest; however, because its management is not integrated, information about pest management in spinach is still undetermined. Here, we evaluated the susceptibility of D. platura to seven species of entomopathogenic nematodes from the central Andean region of Colombia. Additionally, under laboratory conditions, we produced and evaluated different doses of infective juveniles (IJs) of the most virulent species. In the laboratory, we used yellow potatoes (Solanum phureja) for breeding to obtain third instar larvae; we then exposed them to infective IJs 2500/species.
