ECOLOGY OF CUCUMBER MOSAIC VIRUS IN THE RHONE VALLEY OF FRANCE |
| Author: | J.B. Quiot |
| Abstract:
Virus ecology is concerned with the study of how a virus is perpetuated under natural conditions. Maintenance of the virus is the result of complex interactions of several factors such as the virus strains, the vectors, the virus-hosts (weeds and susceptible crops), the agricultural practice and the environment. The subject has been recently reviewed by several authors e.g.: Stevens 1960, Swenson 1968, Broadbent 1969, Duffus 1971, Tresh 1974 and 1976, Berger 1977 and Zitter 1977. In this paper, the ecology of a non-persistent virus of vegetable crops was studied by a three year study of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) in vegetable crop fields located in the Avignon area of southern Rhône valley of France (Quiot et al., 1979a). | |
