In this chapter, the transmission, symptoms, ecology and epidemiology of the most economically important viruses that infect lentil are discussed. Sensitive assays available for detection (immunological protein-based methods and molecular nucleic acid-based methods), and appropriate measures (breeding for resistance, and cultural, chemical and integrated control methods) for the management of these viruses are briefly described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
