Important note on vectors:
Information on vectors and their associated pathogens is a new feature of the database (April 2023). Data will gradually be entered by the EPPO Secretariat and will focus on regulated (quarantine) pests.

------- ToMMV isolates from Yemen and Ethiopia were transmitted very erratically by B. tabaci (and not by Myzus persicae).
