“…Members of the genus Emaravirus are transmitted by eriophyid mites (Mielke‐Ehret and Mühlbach, 2012). In early epidemiological studies, researchers theorized symptoms of RRV might be caused by eriophyid mite feeding toxicity (Slykhuis, 1980). Later experiments showed RRD was mite transmissible (Allington et al ., 1968) and the pathogenicity of RRV was demonstrated by Di Bello et al .…”

Roses (Rosa) are one of the most valuable ornamental flowering shrubs around the globe. They are susceptible to numerous pathogens that require management, increasing the cost of cultivation. Rose rosette virus (RRV; genus Emaravirus) is a devastating virus that has been spreading since the 1940s in the United States and Canada. It is an emerging risk to European and worldwide rose cultivation, causing symptoms such as witches' broom, malformations, excessive thorn production, and eventually plant death. RRV is transmitted by the eriophyid mite Phyllocoptes fructiphilus and by grafting. Research is being undertaken to understand RRV and to find control measures and resistant cultivars, as they are not currently available. Early detection of the disease is the key to prevent the establishment and spread of RRV and its vector. Different molecular and serological diagnostic methods have been designed and implemented, including ELISA, RT‐PCR, RT‐qPCR, LAMP, and high‐throughput sequencing. RRV infected plants can remain symptomless for long periods, so these diagnostic assays are necessary in conjunction with visual assessment to facilitate early detection. Significant social, economic, and environmental impacts are expected if RRV and its vector establish and spread in Europe. Rose trade between countries is the most likely pathway of introduction of RRV into Europe. In this review we describe current knowledge about RRV, the molecular and serological methods available for the detection of this virus, pathways to entry, and the possible impact if it establishes and spreads in Europe.

“…The disease that occurs wherever the common edible fig grows (Blodgett and Gömec, 1967) is characterized by mosaic symptoms on leaves usually accompanied by yellow‐green chlorotic lesions and deformation. The causal agent of FMD is transmitted by grafting and is vectored by the eriophyid mite Aceria ficus (Flock and Wallace, 1955; Slykhuis, 1980), but very little is known about its identity. It was assumed to be a virus of the Potyviridae (Brunt et al., 1996) but its putatively viral aetiology has not so far been established.…”

Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used for the detection of Hop stunt viroid (HSVd) and Citrus exocortis viroid (CEVd) in nucleic acid extracts of infected fig leaf tissues. RT-PCR results were confirmed by cDNA sequencing. This is the first report of CEVd and HSVd infecting fig in Tunisia. Alignments and phylogenetic analysis classify the HSVd Tunisian isolates in the plum-type group. CEVd Tunisian isolates are very closely related to the CEVd tomato hybrid callus isolate and to CEVd Gynura isolate from the USA.www.blackwell-synergy.com

“…Although some eriophyid mites transmit plant viruses (e.g. Slykhuis , 1980;G ispert et al., 1998;S ánchez‐Sánchez et al., 2001), C. rouhollahi itself is not likely to transmit a virus to any non‐target plant because of its high level of host specificity. However, if the mite were to transmit a virus to G. spurium plants in the field in Canada, generalist insects such as aphids and leaf‐hoppers feeding on G. spurium could in turn transmit the virus to other plants.…”

Galium spurium L. (Rubiaceae), native to Europe, is an increasingly serious annual weed of cultivated crops in the prairie provinces of Canada. The gall mite Cecidophyes rouhollahi Craemer (Acari, Eriophyidae), originally found on the related plant species Galium aparine L. in southern France, was evaluated as a potential biological control agent for G. spurium. In greenhouse tests, C. rouhollahi caused severe stunting and complete prevention of seed production by G. spurium. Host specificity tests showed that C. rouhollahi developed only on three closely related annual Galium species in the Kolgyda section. No native North American Galium species were attacked, with the exception of G. aparine. A review of available information on G. aparine suggests that it is probably an introduced species in North America. It has been reported that a related gall mite attacking G. aparine might be associated with a plant virus. A series of tests on a greenhouse colony of G. spurium infested with C. rouhollahi showed no evidence of viral infection. On the basis of these results, C. rouhollahi has been approved for field release against G. spurium in Canada.Re´sume´: E´valuation de la suˆrete´et du potentiel de Cecidophyes rouhollahi (Acari: Eriophyidae) pour la lutte biologique contre Galium spurium (Rubiaceae) en Ame´rique du Nord Galium spurium L. (Rubiaceae), originaire d'Europe, est une mauvaise herbe annuelle qui pose de plus en plus de proble`mes sur les cultures des provinces des prairies canadiennes. L'acarien gallicole Cecidophyes rouhollahi Craemer (Acari: Eriophyidae), trouve´originellement sur l'espe`ce Galium aparine L. dans le Sud de la France, a e´te´e´value´comme un agent de controˆle biologique potentiel de G. spurium. Dans des essais en serre C. rouhollahi a cause´d'importants retards de de´veloppement et une absence totale de production de graines de G. spurium. Des expe´riences de spe´cificited 'hoˆte ont montre´que C. rouhollahi ne pouvait se de´velopper que sur trois espe`ces annuelles proches appartenant au genre Galium, section Kolgyda. Aucune espe`ce de Galium originaire d'Ame´rique du Nord n'a e´te´attaque´e a`l'exception de G. aparine. Une e´tude des informations disponibles sur G. aparine sugge´rait qu'il est peu probable que cette espe`ce soit indige`ne en Ame´rique du Nord. Dans une publication, il e´tait sugge´re´que l'acarien gallicole attaquant G. aparine pouvait eˆtre associe´a`un virus. Cependant, une se´rie d'essais en serre avec des colonies de G. spurium infeste´es par C. rouhollahi n'a pas montre´d'infection virale. Sur la base de ces re´sultats, C. rouhollahi a e´te´approuve´pour des laˆchers sur le terrain contre G. spurium au Canada.
