Important note on vectors:
Information on vectors and their associated pathogens is a new feature of the database (April 2023). Data will gradually be entered by the EPPO Secretariat and will focus on regulated (quarantine) pests.
Organism Type
Badnavirus venaribis (GOVB00) Known vector

* Mellor FC, Forbes AR (1960) Studies of virus diseases of strawberry in British Columbia: III. Transmission of strawberry viruses by aphids. Canadian Journal of Botany 38, 343-352.
Potato leafroll virus (PLRV00) Known vector
* Syller J (1996) Potato leafroll virus (PLRV): its transmission and control. Integrated pest management reviews 1, 217-227.
Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV00) Known vector
* Radouane N, Ezrari S, Belabess Z, Tahiri A, Tahzima R, Massart S, Jijakli H, Benjelloun M, Lahlali R (2021) Viruses of cucurbit crops: current status in the Mediterranean Region. Phytopathologia Mediterranea 60(3): 493-519.
Tomato mild mottle virus (TOMMOV) Potential vector
* Abraham A, Menzel W, Vetten HJ, Winter S (2012) Analysis of the tomato mild mottle virus genome indicates that it is the most divergent member of the genus Ipomovirus (family Potyviridae). Archives of Virology 157(2), 353-357.
------- ToMMV isolates from Yemen and Ethiopia were transmitted very erratically by B. tabaci (and not by Myzus persicae).

* Hiskias Y, Lesemann DE, Vetten HJ (2001) Biological characteristics of tomato mild mottle potyvirus isolated from tomato and thorn apple in Ethiopia. African Crop Science Journal 9, 517–525.
------- Myzus persicae is considered to be a vector of ToMMV.
