“…Mineral oil has been proven to efficiently reduce the spread of various non-persistent viruses such as Cucumber mosaic virus (Loebenstein et al, 1964), Turnip mosaic virus (Lowery et al, 1990), Tulip breaking virus (Asjes, 1984), and Potato virus Y (PVY) (Potyviridae: Potyvirus) (Bradley et al, 1966;Fageria et al, 2014a,b). Mineral oil is believed to act as an insecticide (Mart ın-L opez et al, 2006;Najar-Rodr ıguez et al, 2007a,b), to impede infection processes by preventing the development or translocation of the virus in the plant (Loebenstein et al, 1964;Peters & Lebbink, 1973), or to physically interfere with virus retention at the tip of the aphid's stylets (Wang & Pirone, 1996;Boquel et al, 2013).
