Trends and gaps in forecasting plant virus disease risk.

Control strategies for plant viruses cannot eradicate widespread outbreaks of disease, or the emergence of new ones. Most of the reported emerging diseases of plants are caused by viruses, which stresses the need to model and forecast plant virus disease risk. Most of the reported emerging diseases of plants are caused by viruses (Aranda & Freitas-Astúa, [3]), which stresses the need to model and forecast plant virus disease risk. At one level, distributions were shaped by specific host-virus species pairs, and specific virus-virus and host-virus (multiple infection) interactions, which suggests species traits (infectivity and resistance mechanisms at the microlevel) had a role in infection heterogeneity.
