Book Description
This book is a timely compilation of synthesized information on behaviourally fascinating and economically important mites. The book gives much attention to fundamental aspects of eriophyoid anatomy, behaviour, ecology and even systematics, as bases for understanding the ways of life of eriophyoid mites and their effects on host plants; in turn, this will lead to developing the most appropriate means of regulating mites as detrimental or beneficial organisms. It presents new views intended to stimulate interest in eriophyoids and their enemies, and it points to areas where further research is needed. This book is intended for extension workers, experts of acarology and plant protection as well as students, teachers and researchers. It stimulates readers to critically test the view presented and aimes ultimately toward environmentally safe, sustainable and economically efficient means of regulating detrimental and beneficial eriophyoid mites.

Book Description
The wheat curl mite (WCM), Aceria tosichella Keifer, is an economically important pest of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in the Great Plains of North America due to its ability to transmit three viruses: Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV), Triticum mosaic virus (TriMV), and High Plains wheat mosaic virus (HPWMoV). WCM is the only known vector of these plant viruses, making up the wheat-mite-virus complex. TriMV was recently discovered in 2006, but the transmission characteristics are largely unknown. A study was designed to characterize TriMV acquisition and retention periods for the WCM. For TriMV acquisition, nymphs were placed on TriMV infected wheat and allowed to feed for various time increments. After the allowed feeding time, single mites were then transferred to a series of test plants. For TriMV retention, TriMV-viruliferous adults were transferred to barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) P. Beauv), a host for the mites and non-host for TriMV, and held for 1 to 12 days. Single mites were then transferred to wheat test plants. Results show that WCM can acquire TriMV within an hour, but poor transmission resulted. Transmission increased with increased acquisition time and peaked after 16 hours. WCM adults can retain TriMV for up to 4 days with a steady transmission rate. Management of this complex relies on the control of the over-summering alternative hosts known as the green bridge. Corn (Zea mays L.) has been documented as an alternate green-bridge host for the wheat-mite-virus-complex, but much of the literature is 30-50 years old; therefore, a field study was conducted to evaluate the ecology of WCM on reproductive stage corn and the mite's ability to carry viruses through corn and back to wheat. Corn was manually infested with viruliferous mites of different virus combinations. Results indicate that reproductive stage field corn can support populations of viruliferous WCM, and mites moving off corn are able to carry WSMV and HPWMoV from corn to wheat. TriMV was found to be transmitted at low levels. This study provides a better understanding of corn as a potential green bridge host where corn and winter wheat seasons overlap.

Book Description
Many well-known specialists have contributed to this book which presents for the first time an in-depth look at the viruses, their satellites and the retrotransposons infecting (or occuring in) one plant family: the Poaceae (Gramineae). After molecular and biological descriptions of the viruses to species level, virus diseases are presented by crop: barley, maize, rice, rye, sorghum, sugarcane, triticales, wheats, forage, ornamental and lawn. A detailed index of the viruses and taxonomic lists will help readers in the search for information.

Book Description
Vectors of Plant Pathogens is a collection of papers that discusses the interrelationship of plant pathogens with their vectors. This collection deals with the numerous vector groups associated with plant pathogens. One paper describes the biology, feeding behavior and distribution of aphids, leafhoppers, plant hoppers, mealy bugs, whiteflies, psyllids, membracids. Another paper addresses the virus transmission characteristics of the mealy bugs during preliminary fasting or feeding, acquisition access time, post-acquisition fasting or feeding, and the inoculation access time. Other papers also discuss the involvement of insects in transmitting bacterial and fungal pathogens; the authors list unresolved issues such as the role of insects in overwintering of bacterial pathogens or the association of the fungus with a particular vector. One author describes some suspected fungi transmission such as the pea stem necrosis virus, red clover necrotic mosaic virus, and the tomato bushy stunt virus. Another paper examines the fate of plant viruses in mite vectors and convectors particularly the viruses found in wheat, barley, or brome grass. Agriculturists, botanists, and researchers in the field of botany, conservation, and plant genealogy will find this book useful.

Book Description
The wheat curl mite (WCM), Aceria tosichella Keifer, transmits a complex of viruses, Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV), Triticum mosaic virus (TriMV) and Wheat mosaic virus (WMoV), to wheat, Triticum aestivum, in the Great Plains. Co-infection of wheat by these viruses is frequently observed, increasing disease severity and yield loss. Current genetic work classifies WCM populations into two genotypes, Type 1 and Type 2. It has been shown that different mite genotypes are able to transmit viruses at varying rates. WCM-virus relations are very specific and can impact vector biology. In this study, the primary objective was to determine if co-infection of wheat by WSMV+ TriMV has an impact on each virus transmission rate by the WCM Type 1 and Type 2. An additional objective was to establish the impact of double viral infections on the biology of the mites and virus dispersal in the field. Using a series of transmission studies, it was determined that Type 1 WCMs do not transmit TriMV even in the presence of WSMV. Type 2 WCMs feeding on wheat infected with both viruses, have reduced WSMV transmission when compared to mites feeding on singly inoculated plants. However, TriMV transmission is increased when mites feed on wheat infected by both viruses. Mite counts from the field indicated that mites feeding on WSMV infected plants had the highest populations, followed by the control, WSMV+TriMV and TriMV. In field conditions, WSMV incidence was reduced when Type 2 WCM were exposed to source plants with WSMV+TriMV. TriMV incidence was not different between mites feeding on single or double infected plants. These findings enhance the understanding of WCM virus complex epidemiology.
