Ecological interactions between grain aphids (Sitobion avenae) and Fusarium head blight pathogens (Fusarium graminearum & F. langsethiae) on wheat and their impact on disease

Fusarium head blight pathogens contribute to ear disease in cereals globally, causing yield losses, decreased grain quality, and mycotoxin accumulation in infected grain. Wheat is susceptible to head blight disease after ear emergence, during which time ears can also act as hosts for other biologica...
