About Lesson
  • Mites belonging to the families Eryophyiidae (eryophyiid mite) and Tetranychidae (spider mite) of class Arachnida transmit plant viruses.
  • The genera Abacarus, Aceria, Eriophyes and Brevipalpus are important.

Ex: Aceria cajani transmits Pigeonpea sterility mosaic virus . Aceria tulipae transmits wheat streak mosaic.
