High Viral Load in the Planthopper Vector Delphacodes kuscheli (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) is Associated With Successful Transmission of Mal de Rio Cuarto Virus

Delphacodes kuscheli Fennah (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) is the main natural vector of Mal de Rio Cuarto virus (family Reoviridae, genus Fijivirus, MRCV), which infects different gramineae and causes the most important maize (Zea mays L.) disease in Argentina. MRCV-vector interactions usually are studie...

Description
Summary:Delphacodes kuscheli Fennah (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) is the main natural vector of Mal de Rio Cuarto virus (family Reoviridae, genus Fijivirus, MRCV), which infects different gramineae and causes the most important maize (Zea mays L.) disease in Argentina. MRCV-vector interactions usually are studied using different winter cereals as hosts. Under experimental conditions,
