Alfalfa leaf curl virus is efficiently acquired by its aphid vector Aphis craccivora but inefficiently transmitted

This study investigates the acquisition and transmission of Alfalfa leaf curl virus by its aphid vector Aphis craccivora, finding that while the virus is efficiently ingested, transmission is inefficient due to low viral accumulation thresholds.

Alfalfa leaf curl virus is transmitted by Aphis craccivorain a highly specific circulative manner

The paper shows that Alfalfa leaf curl virus is transmitted by Aphis craccivora in a circulative manner with high specificity, but not by Acyrthosiphon pisum.

Multi-scale spatial genetic structure of a vector-borne plant pathogen in orchards and wild habitat

This study investigates the spatial genetic structure of a plant pathogen across multiple scales, revealing haplotype distribution patterns and dispersal mechanisms involving wild and cultivated Prunus hosts.

A framework for estimating the effects of sequential reproductive barriers: implementation using Bayesian models with field data from cryptic species

The paper develops Bayesian models to estimate direction-specific reproductive isolation between two psyllid species using field data, finding strong pre-insemination isolation and cumulative isolation.
