  • Relationship Between Insect Vectors Abundance And
    RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INSECT VECTORS ABUNDANCE AND OCCURRENCE OF RICE YELLOW MOTTLE VIRUS IN FARMERS’ FIELDS IN KILOMBERO DISTRICT BONAVENTURE JANUARY A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE IN CROP SCIENCE OF SOKOINE UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE. MOROGORO, TANZANIA. 2012 ii ABSTRACT Rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) endemic to Africa is spread within and between rice fields by several species of Chrysomelid beetles and grasshoppers. In Tanzania and particularly in Kilombero District, the virus is increasingly becoming a serious problem to rice production. The relationships between the insect vectors and RYMV disease incidence and severity were not fully known hence the need for this study. The assessment of both disease incidence and severity of RYMV and population abundance of its insect’s vectors were conducted in the three divisions of Mngeta, Ifakara and Mang’ula in Kilombero District, Tanzania in 4m2 quadrat. Insect sampling was conducted using sweep net while RYMD incidence and severity were visually assessed in a 4 m2 quadrat. Results of the insect identification indicated the presence of two insect vectors of RYMV i.e. (Chaetocnema spp. and O. hyla). The population densities of these RYMV vectors were higher at the border parts of the rice fields than at the middle parts. On the other hand, the incidence and severity of RYMV disease increased with the age of the crop. Results of within field distribution also indicated a random distribution of RYMV-affected plants in the rice fields in the agro ecosystem. The field studies of the virus–vector relationship established that RYMV occurrence varied in space and time and crop development stages.

Rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) is the major viral constraint to rice production in Africa. RYMV was first identified in 1966 in Kenya and then later in most African countries where rice is grown. Several studies have been conducted so far on its evolution, pathogenicity, resistance genes, and especially its dissemination by insects. Many of these studies showed that, among RYMV vectors, insects especially leaf-feeders found in rice fields are the major source of virus transmission. Many studies have shown that the virus is vectored by several insect species in a process of a first ingestion of leaf material and subsequent transmission in following feedings. About forty insect species were identified as vectors of RYMV since 1970 up to now. They were essentially the beetles, grasshoppers, and the leafhoppers.

  • RICE YELLOW MOTTLE SOBOMOVIRUS: a LIMITING FACTOR in Supported by RICE PRODUCTION in AFRICA
    RICE YELLOW MOTTLE SOBOMOVIRUS: A LIMITING FACTOR IN Supported by RICE PRODUCTION IN AFRICA G. Alkali1*, M. D. Alegbejo2, B. D. Kashina2 and O. O. Banwo2 1Department of Crop Protection, University of Maiduguri, Borno State, Nigeria 2Department of Crop Protection, Institute for Agricultural Research, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria Corresponding author: [email protected] Received: April 17, 2017 Accepted: September 26, 2017 Abstract: Rice is the primary and secondary host of many viruses, but the most important in Africa is the rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) genus Sobemovirus. It is endemic in the continent and became important after the introduction of new high yielding exotic varieties from Asia that are susceptible to the virus. The pathogen was first noticed in 1966 in Kenya but it has since spread to other parts of Africa countries. It is environmentally stable, highly infectious and about six strains of the virus now exist. Transmitted both mechanically and by insect vectors belonging to the families Chrysomelidae (Chaetocnema spp., Dactylispa spp., Hispa unsambarica Weise, Sesselia pusilla Gartucker, Trichispa sericea Guerin); Tettigonidae (Conocephalus longipennis de Haan, C. merumontamus Sjostedt) and Coccinelidane (Chnootriba similis Thunberg). Yield losses caused by the virus range from 25 to 100%. Integrated pest management and breeding for resistant varieties are the best strategies so far suggested to reduce havoc caused by this pathogen to rice. This paper reviews the economic importance, distribution, host range, symptom, transmission, varietal reaction, yield loss assessment, epidemiology, molecular characteristics, management strategies and future research needs of the virus.

Anion-exchange chromatography was used to identify three markedly stable forms of RYMVparticles from infected plants: (1) an unstable swollen form lacking Ca 2ϩ and dependent upon basic pH; (2) a more stable transitional form lacking Ca2ϩ but dependent upon acidic pH; and (3) a pH-independent, stable, compact form containing Ca2ϩ. Particle stability increased over the time course of infection in rice plants: transitional and swollen forms were abundant during early infection (2 weeks postinfection), whereas compact forms increased during later stages of infection. Electron microscopy of infected tissue revealed virus particles in vacuoles of xylem parenchyma and mesophyll cells early in the time course of infection and suggested that vacuoles and other vesicles were the major storage compartments for virus particles. We propose a model in which virus maturation is associated with the virus accumulation in vacuoles.

  • Overview of Rice Yellow Mottle Virus
    Overview of Rice yellow mottle virus Overview of Rice yellow mottle virus G. Konatéa and D. Fargetteb aInstitut national pour l’étude et la recherche agronomique (INERA), Democratic Republic of Congo bIRD, UR “Resistance des plantes” BP 5045 34032, Montpellier Cedex 1, France Abstract The rice yellow mottle disease is the main virus disease found on rice in Africa. It has been reported in all the major rice producing zones of sub-Saharan Africa (East, West, Central and Southern Africa, and Madagascar). The disease incidence and accompanying yield losses could be high depending on the rice cultivars grown, the date of infection, and type of rice. The Offi ce du Niger in Mali reported 80% incidence and more than 50% crop losses in 1995. RYMV is confi ned to the African continent. The Rice yellow mottle virus disease (RYMV) is caused by a Sobemovirus trans- mitted by beetles. The fi ne structure of RYMV has been recently described, thanks to electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction. Thus, it has been shown that some of the 180 identical subunits forming the viral coat were closely interlinked through an exchange of the internal part of the coat, which makes the virion particularly stable. Serological (monoclonal antibodies) and molecular (sequencing and phylogenic analysis) studies of RYMV led to the characterization of several serotypes and phylogenic groups with a well-defi ned, geographic basis. The pathogenicity study of RYMV strains made it possible to identify at least two aggressivity levels: common aggressivity responsible for severe symptoms found on all the varieties tested so far, except for a few cultivars belonging to the O.

Njau 1AfricaRice Centre, P.O.Box 33581, Daressalaam, Tanzania 1,2 Department of Crop Science and Production, Sokoine University of Agriculture, P.O.BOX 3005 Chuo Kikuu, Morogoro, Tanzania. Abstract: Rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV), an endemic disease to Africa was reported in Kenya in 1966 and thereafter in Tanzania in 1980's but with limited incidences. It spread fast and it is now omnipresent in all rice growing areas in the country. The fast spread has been partly associated with climate change that has induced increased virulence of previously less virulent viruses and rapid population buildup of their vectors. In view of the increasing incidence and the impact of rice yellow mottle virus disease (RYMVD) on rice production in Tanzania, studies on the distribution of RYMV insect vectors were undertaken as a necessary step into designing the disease management strategies. The already documented list of known RYMV vectors in Africa was used as reference to the target species. Two sampling methods (sweep net and 4m2 quadrant) were used to assess the population of insects vectors of RYMV in the three major rice growing divisions of Kilombero District in Morogoro Tanzania (Mngeta, Ifakara and Mang’ula) rice fields. Vector found existing in the location included Chaetocnema sp. and Oxya hyla. The vectors were more abundant at the border parts of the fields than at the middle.
