bachelor's at Agronomia from Universidade de São Paulo (1977), master's at Fitopatologia from Universidade de São Paulo (1985) and doctorate at Plant Pathology from Oklahoma State University (1990). Has experience in Agronomy, focusing on Phytopathology, acting on the following subjects: cucurbitaceae, diagnose, potyvirus, cross protection and passiflora edulis. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The woodiness disease of passion fruit, caused by the potyvirus cowpea aphid-borne mosaic virus (CABMV), transmitted by aphids in a non-persistent manner, is the most critical and limiting disease in the cultivation of this fruit tree. Controlling passion fruit woodiness disease is difficult, mainly because commercially exploited Passiflora species are not resistant to the virus or tolera…
Passionflower is cultivated throughout the Brazilian territory, and the predominant disease in almost all producing regions is called passionfruit woodiness, caused by the potyvirus Cowpea Aphid-Borne Mosaic Virus (CABMV). Its occurrence reduces the lifespan of the plants of 36 months to approximately 18 months. The spread of the virus in the field occurs mainly by aphids, being the virus…
The present project proposes to continue epidemiological studies, at a regional level, to identify amplifier hosts responsible for frequent epidemics of diseases caused by tomato severe rugose virus (ToSRV) and tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV) in solanaceous crops in different producing regions of the country. Basic studies of the molecular characteristics of begomovirus and crinivirus, as w…
This research project comprehends seven modules. Its joint analysis will allow a better understanding of the structure and behavior of diseases caused by begomovirus and crinivirus in Sotanaceae in Brazil, a sine qua non condition for the design of a more rational system of integrated management. The modules have the following titles and objectives: (1) Molecular biology - detection and c…

Passion fruit (Passiflora spp.) is a tropical plant with different species cultivated in Brazil and worldwide. However, passion fruit production is constantly threatened by several factors, including viruses. The potyvirus cowpea aphid-borne mosaic virus (CABMV) is the most important and responsible for the fruit woodiness disease. There are no effective measures to control this disease t…
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is one of the essential vegetables in Brazil and the world. The tomato crop has several fungal, bacterial, and viral diseases. Those caused by viruses are very important since they are difficult to control. Among these, the begomovirus tomato severe rugose virus (ToSRV) and the crinivirus tomato chlorosis (ToCV, transmitted by Bemisia tabaci, deserve to be hi…
The cowpea-aphid borne mosaic virus (CABMV) is the cause of the passion fruit woodiness disease. The disease reduces the useful life of the culture from 36 to approximately 18 months. CABMV is considered one of the limiting factors for the maintenance and expansion of the culture in Brazil. The virus belongs to the genus Potyvirus, whose genome comprises a single-stranded RNA molecule tra…
Cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana L.), from Solanaceae family, produces high market value fruits, with potential to be cultivated in Brazil. In 2019, physalis rugose mosaic virus (PhyRMV), from genus Sobemovirus, was reported infecting the plant in Santa Catarina, Paraná, and São Paulo estates. Given that the disease decreases production, the virus is easily transmitted through cultural…
Viral pathogens, especially those of the Potyvirus genus, pose a significant threat to sweet pepper cultivation. PVY, a notable species within the Potyvirus genus, was first identified in potatoes in the 1940s and later in sweet pepper crops in the 1960s. Resistance to PVY was achieved through genetic breeding, but the PVYM strain, also known as PVY-1,2, emerged in the 1980s, capable of o…

Tomato is considered one of the most important crops in Brazil, both from an economic and social perspective. Several diseases affect this important crop, with the most difficult being by viruses transmitted by Bemisia tabaci MEAM1, mainly due to the high degree of complexity and limited options for management. The crinivirus tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV) and the begomovirus tomato severe…
