Characterization of the Virome Associated with the Ubiquitous Two-Spotted Spider Mite, Tetranychus urticae [PDF]
Agricultural pests can cause direct damage to crops, including chlorosis, loss of vigor, defoliation, and wilting. In addition, they can also indirectly damage plants, such as by transmitting pathogenic micro-organisms while feeding on plant tissues ...
