Abstract

The knowledge about viruses transmitted by tenuipalpid mites of the genus Brevipalpus (BTV) have shown significant advances in recent years. The BTV have received attention due to their economic importance and because they constitute a peculiar pathosystem, remaining in the localized lesions induced in their hosts, and not invading their hosts systemically. The taxonomy of Brevipalpus mites has undergone recent changes. Until 2015, only three species were considered as vectors of plant viruses, but currently B. obovatus, B. californicus, B. yothersi, B. papayensis, B. phoenicis sensu stricto, and a possible new species Brevipalpus aff. yothersi are confirmed vectors of at least one BTV. The possibility that other species also transmit viruses cannot be ruled out, as most plants are infested by a mix of Brevipalpus species. This situation increases the complexity in determining which species are involved in the transmission of BTV and virus vector relationships need to be better studied. Citrus leprosis virus (CiLV-C), a cilevirus, is the most economically important virus in the group, being widely distributed in Latin America and genetically subdivided into two strains: SJP and CRD. Although the transmission parameters of CiLV-C are known, there are no studies on the possible differences in the transmission efficiency by the different strains and there are also controversies about the replication of these viruses in their vectors. The present project aims to contribute to the determination of possible differences in the efficiency of viral transmission between different strains of CiLV-C, to study the main transmission parameters of the dichorhavirus clerodendrum chlorotic spot virus (ClCSV), and to evaluate, by different techniques, whether or not CiLV-C replicates in its main vector, comparing the results with those obtained for ClCSV, which induces cytopathological effects indicating its replication within the same B. yothersi vector.
