TL;DR: Applying the species assignment rules of recent studies suggests that the individuals from Argentina form a separate species, suggesting that Argentina has two indigenous species belonging to the B. tabaci cryptic species complex.

TL;DR: This study identifies B. tabaci species present in bean, melon, and tomato crops in Argentina by applying phylogenetic analyses and pairwise comparison of genetic distances of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (mtCOI) sequences and provides the first report of MEAM1 in common bean and melon.

TL;DR: The complete genome was obtained of two isolates of maize yellow striate virus (MYSV), a putative new rhabdovirus, differing by only 0.4% at the nucleotide level, andylogenetic analysis suggested that the MYSV isolates are new members of the genus Cytorhabdavirus, family Rhabdviridae.

TL;DR: Results highlight the importance of certification of viruses-free cereal seeds and strict controls for material transfer between different countries to prevent the entry not only of new pathogens but also of new variants or strain at sites where the pest has already been detected.

TL;DR: This is the first study about interactions between MRCV and a rhabdovirus closely related to Maize yellow striate virus in this insect vector, and contributes to a better understanding of planthopper-virus interactions and their epidemiological implications.
