Background
The global significance of insect vectors in transmitting plant viral diseases emerged in the early 20th century, as epidemics devastated staple crops and scientific investigations linked outbreaks to specific insect species. Subsequent advances in virology and entomology revealed the complex interactions between viruses, vectors, and host plants, highlighting the rapid spread of diseases across continents. Increasing international trade and climate change have since intensified awareness of this persistent and evolving agricultural threat.
