TaxID: 1980428

Basic Information

Emaravirus tritici

High Plains Wheat Mosaic Virus

High Plains wheat mosaic emaravirus (WMoV), also known as High Plains virus (HPV) or Maize red stripe virus (MRSV/MRStV), is the causative agent of High plains disease of maize and wheat. It is spread by wheat curl mite, Aceria tosichella, which also transmits Wheat streak mosaic virus. The mite's ability to transmit a number of different viruses to cereal crops make it an economically important agricultural pest. In late June 2017 this virus was first detected in Canada, in Alberta. The Alberta samples were 99% similar to those in the USA. As Wheat streak mosaic virus is already present in Alberta, and coinfection with these two causes even more severe damage, this could cause much higher yield losses.
