Nepoviruses and Their Diagnosis in Plants
The nepoviruses (nematode-transmitted, polyhedral particles) are a group of about 46 viruses that infect many plant families. Nepoviruses cause probably the most serious viral diseases of horticultural crops, particularly perennial woody and bulb crops, and are of serious concern to quarantine authorities worldwide.
