Understanding the diversity of nepoviruses in small fruits and grapes in the Pacific Northwest and the risk associated with their nematode vectors
Overview
The main objective of this research were to generate information on small fruit and grape virus diversity in the Pacific Northwest focusing on viruses transmitted by nematodes. The $840 million small fruit industry in the PNW faces several phytosanitary risk scenarios, one of these is the emergent or re-emergent viruses transmitted by nematodes.
