VAPA, an Innovative “Virus-Acquisition Phenotyping Assay” Opens New Horizons in Research into the Vector-Transmission of Plant Viruses

Host-to-host transmission—a key step in plant virus infection cycles—is ensured predominantly by vectors, especially aphids and related insects. A deeper understanding of the mechanisms of virus acquisition, which is critical to vector-transmission, might help to design future virus control strategi...
