Citrus leprosis, commonly caused by Citrus leprosis virus C (Cilevirus), is currently the viral disease most impact on citrus production due to the high cost with the use of acaricide for the management and vector control. The disease is associated with mites of the genus Brevipalpus (Acari: Tenuipalpidae), which are polyphagous, cosmopolitan, and have been the focus of increased attentio…
The Brevipalpus mites have been the focus of attention for its ability to transmit virus to several different plants. Three major economically important crops - citrus, coffee and passion fruit - are targets of fitovirus transmitted by this mite. Citrus leprosis is a disease of major impact, given the high cost with the use of acaricides in orchards to control mites. Strategies to reduce …
Citrus production in Brazil is a large-scale crop and, consequently, faces numerous biotic and abiotic problems. In this way, citrus growers live with the incessant search for strategies for the safe management of orchards. However, the production budget is due high cost of phytosanitary measures to control pests and pathogens. Among the pests, there are the flat mite Brevipalpus yothersi…
One of the citriculture biotic problems is related to mites of the genus Brevipalpus, due to the vector capacity of viruses called Virus Transmitted Brevipalpus (VTBs). These viruses affect other economically important crops, such as coffee, passion fruit, and ornamentals such as orchids. In addition to the vector, these VTBs have the common characteristics of causing similar symptoms in …
Citriculture is one of the main agricultural activities in the world, with Brazil standing out in its production focused on exporting concentrated juice and the gradual increase in fruit consumption. However, there are many biotic and abiotic problems to management in citrus orchards. Among these, citrus leprosy is one of the diseases with the greatest economic impact. Of viral origin, it…
Several diseases can affect citrus orchards in Brazil. Among these diseases, leprosis is one the most serious viral disease, affecting mainly sweet oranges (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck), which are extensively cultivated for export juice production. Brevipalpus mites are recognized as vectors of the common etiological agent of leprosis - citrus leprosis virus (CiLV-C, Cilevirus). Therefore, …
