Emergencia del viroide del tubérculo ahusado de la papa (Potato spindle tuber viroid) (PSTVd) en la región del Caribe
Main Article Content
Abstract
The Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) is an important pathogen affecting potato crop and is included in the Schedules of Quarantine Agency in several countries in Europe, America, and the area the Caribbean region, and in Cuba. It may be considered an emerging pathogen in the Caribbean area, since it was recently detected in the Dominican Republic. In recent years, PSTVd has been detected in other hosts; seed transmission has been reported in tomato. There is an unconfirmed report that the aphid Myzus persicae is able to transmit PSTVd from potato plants co-infected with Potato leaf roll virus (PLRV). These aspects clearly show the potential of PSTVd dissemination and must increase the awareness on seed certification authorities in seed potato producing countries. In Cuba where the pathogen is not present yet, a rigid quarantine program including plant monitoring and the use of advanced diagnostic techniques for PSTVd should be implemented.
