Triticum mosaic virus (TriMV) was first identified infecting wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in Kansas in 2006 (16). TriMV has since been identified from infected wheat in: Colorado, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming (2). The virus is mechanically transmissible, and associated with a 35-kDa coat protein when analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (...

The wheat curl mite, Aceria tosichella Keifer, transmits at least three harmful viruses, wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV), high plains virus (HPV), and Triticum mosaic virus (TriMV) to wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) throughout the Great Plains. This virus complex is considered to be the most serious disease of winter wheat in the western Great Plains. One component of managing this disease has be...

ABSTRACT The agent of sterility mosaic, a disease that is a major constraint on pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) production in the Indian subcontinent, is transmitted by the eriophyid mite, Aceria cajani. This agent has remained elusive for decades despite intensive efforts but we report the isolation of highly flexuous filamentous virus-like particles (VLPs) of 3 to 10 nm in width and of undefined le...

High Plains wheat mosaic virus (HPWMoV, genus Emaravirus) has an octopartite, negative-sense RNA genome, each segment encoding a single open reading frame. The is transmitted by the curl mite (Aceria tosichella) (Tatineni et al., 2014). HPWMoV been reported from Argentina, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Ukraine and USA (Abdullahi 2020; Snihur 2020). Mixed infections of Wheat streak (WSMV, Trit...
