The Encyclopedia of Plant Viruses and Viroids provides an
up-to-date information on the viruses and viroids infecting all
types of cultivated and weed plants at global level; and is unique
among plant virology texts as it is organized alphabetically by the
genus name of the host plant infected. It allows the reader to
readily determine all of the different viruses currently reported
naturally infecting the plant genus and species. Information is
provided for each virus and viroids on common synonyms, current
taxonomic status, geographical distribution, symptoms induced,
other known hosts, means of transmission and properties of both the
virus particles and the genome. Where ever the same virus is known
to infect multiple hosts, host-specific information, biological
properties and genome characters are presented under each host
affected. The index can be utilized to identify other crops
infected by the same virus, showing which other crops might be at
risk of infection in the event of introduction of a virus that has
not previously reported in an area, or which might serve as
potential virus reservoirs for infection of more sensitive or
economically important crops than the host in which it is initially
identified. The taxonomy and nomenclature of the viruses and
viroids are followed based on the current guidelines of the 10th
ICTV Report, covering up to 2018 and also about many new viruses
and viroids that have been reported but not yet recognized as
species by ICTV, have been included in this Encyclopedia. The
uniqueness of this Encyclopedia is that all the known viruses and
viroids affecting more than 1010 plant species at global level are
described and the plant species are arranged in alphabetical order
of the scientific name of the plant along the relevant information
on 1518 viruses and viroids and is the ready-reckoner of the global
plant species and their viruses and viroids for students,
scientists, teachers of Plant Pathology& Virology; and also for
the crop protection professionals, agricultural policymakers, seed
companies and quarantine agencies.
