Detection of Plant Viruses and Disease Management: Relevance of Genetic Diversity and Evolution
Plant viruses cause considerable economic losses and are a threat for sustainable agriculture. The frequent emergence of new viral diseases is mainly due to international trade, climate change, and the ability of viruses for rapid evolution.

Taxonomy and Identification of Principal Foliar Nematode Species (Aphelenchoides and Litylenchus)
Nematodes are Earth’s most numerous multicellular animals and include species that feed on bacteria, fungi, plants, insects, and animals. Foliar nematodes are mostly pathogens of ornamental crops in greenhouses, nurseries, forest trees, and field crops ...

Recombination and Genetic Diversity
In this paper we present a spatial stochastic model for genetic recombination, that answers if diversity is preserved in an infinite population of recombinating individuals distributed spatially. We show that, for finite times, recombination may maintain all the various potential different types, but when time grows infinitely, the diversity of ...

Genetic Diversity of Toscana Virus [PDF]
Distribution of Toscana virus (TOSV) is evolving with climate change, and pathogenicity may be higher in nonexposed populations outside areas of current prevalence (Mediterranean Basin). To characterize genetic diversity of TOSV, we determined the coding sequences of isolates from Spain and France.

Nation Formation and Genetic Diversity [PDF]
This paper presents a model of nation formation in which culturally heterogeneous agents vote on the optimal level of public spending. Larger nations benefit from increasing returns in the provision of public goods, but bear the costs of greater cultural heterogeneity. This tradeoff induces agents' preferences over different geographical configurations,
