Blackberry yellow vein disease is one of the most important diseases of blackberry in the United States. Several viruses are found associated with the symptomology but Blackberry yellow vein associated virus (BYVaV) appears to be the most prevalent of all, leading to the need for a better understanding of its epidemiology. Efficient detection protocols were developed using end-point and quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. A multi-state survey was performed on wild and cultivated blackberry to assess the geographical distribution of the virus. Two whitefly species, Trialeurodes abutilonea and T. vaporariorum, were identified as vectors and 25 plant species were tested as potential BYVaV hosts. The information obtained in this study can be used at multiple levels to better understand and control blackberry yellow vein disease.
黑莓黄脉病是美国黑莓最重要的病害之一。已发现几种病毒与该病症状相关，但黑莓黄脉相关病毒（BYVaV）似乎是其中最普遍的，因此需要更好地了解其流行病学。利用终点法和定量逆转录聚合酶链反应开发了高效检测方案。对野生和栽培黑莓进行了多州调查，以评估该病毒的地理分布。鉴定出两种粉虱，即烟粉虱和温室白粉虱为传播媒介，并对25种植物进行了测试，以确定它们是否为BYVaV的潜在宿主。本研究获得的信息可在多个层面用于更好地了解和控制黑莓黄脉病。
