Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
RSV is a retrovirus that contains two copies of a plus-strand RNA genome. Its genome consists of four main open...

Summary

Rose rosette disease, caused by rose rosette emaravirus (RRV), is now known to be vectored by a second eriophyoid mite species, *Phyllocoptes arcani*. This discovery impacts understanding of RRV epidemiology and spread in ornamental plants.

Background:

Rose rosette disease (RRD) significantly impacts the ornamental horticulture industry in the United States.
The disease is caused by the rose rosette emaravirus (RRV).
RRV transmission is primarily attributed to the eriophyoid mite, *Phyllocoptes fructiphilus*.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the vector competency of two additional *Phyllocoptes* mite species, *P. adalius* and *P. arcani*, for RRV.
To determine the transmission efficiency of RRV by these potential new vectors.

Main Methods:

Single and multiple mite transfer experiments were conducted using *P. adalius* and *P. arcani*.
Mite vector competency and RRV transmission rates were assessed for each species.

Main Results:

The eriophyoid mite species *Phyllocoptes arcani* was identified as a second vector of RRV.
*P. adalius* did not demonstrate vector competency for RRV in these experiments.

Conclusions:

The identification of *P. arcani* as a second RRV vector has significant implications for understanding the epidemiology of rose rosette disease.
The presence of *P. arcani* in regions where *P. fructiphilus* is absent could facilitate RRV spread, impacting disease management strategies.
