Rice stripe tenuivirus is an RNA plant pathogen of the genus Tenuivirus.[1] It is prevalent in Japan, China, and Korea and can infect plants of the family Poaceae, which include wheat and corn (see maize stripe virus).[2] Damage from this disease causes major reductions in rice crop yield every year.[2]
It is spread primarily by Laodelphax[3] striatellus, a small planthopper that feeds and damages rice plants by sap-sucking.[4] Three other planthopper insects that transmit rice stripe virus include Unkanodes sapporona, Unkanodoes albifascia, and Terthron albovittatum. The virus propagates in the planthopper and is passed down to 90% of a female's eggs.[5] However, mechanically transmitting the virus by injecting sap from an affected plant to a healthy plant has not been widely successful.[5]
