Nesoclutha declivata Homoptera Cicadellidae, Vector of Digitaria Streak Virus (Geminivirus) in Vanuatu

Abstract: A geminivirus, the Digitaria Streak Virus (DSV) affects Digitaria sangninalis in Vanuatu. As this plant exists in certain foci of coconut foliar decay (FD), a disease with which a circular single‐stranded DNA is associated, the possibility of these two diseases having a common identity was considered. A study of the vectorial aspects of these two diseases has shown that Myndus taffini (Cixiidae) is a vector of coconut FD and that it does not transmit DSV. Nesoclutha declivata (Cicadellidae) transmits DSV on Di… Show more

“…The lack of homology between the D. sanguinalis Geminivirus DNA and CFDV DNA is in agreement with the observation that the two disease agents have different vectors (Nesoclutha declivata and M. taffini respectively (Julia and Dollet 1989). Other species are yet to be assayed as potential natural sources of CFDV.…”

“…TobYDV and other perhaps as yet undiscovered SI viruses infecting dicots would then have been "escapes" from the graminaceous host range limitation, but still with leafhopper vectors, and the same genomic organisation. It is interesting that there is no significant difference in the clustering shown by both CP and Rep sequences from TobYDV relative to any other grass-infecting SI virus despite its very different host; nor is there a significant difference in the clustering of the CP and Rep sequences of DSV with the homologous proteins of others of the African streak virus group, despite DSV having a different vector from the other viruses [20]. This is perhaps evidence that changes in vector genera and even in the most basal change in host plant type can be achieved by changes in virus sequence that are sufficiently minor as to be non-detectable by phylogenetic analysis of the relevant ORFs.…”

“…Phylogenetic analysis has established that DSV is closely related to MSV (34). DSV is not transmitted by Cicadulina mbila, a vector of MSV, but is transmitted by the leafhopper, Nesoclutha declivata (19). Maize plants were agroinoculated with cloned DSV as previously described for MSV (18).…”
