caption_attribution_description: English: Strawberry aphid vectors, such as Chaetosiphon fragaefolii, is of genus Chaetosiphon, which are the primary causes of problems seen in strawberry plants worldwide. These vectors infiltrate strawberry plants, and appear to be either translucent yellow-white to pale green-yellow in color. The body length of C. fragaefolii is roughly 0.9-1.8mm long, while the antennae are 0.9-1.1 times the body length. Damage to plants are caused by aphid vectors sucking on the sap from plants, causing the observed symptoms of Strawberry Crinkle Virus (SCV). These vectors can be infected with this virus in as little as 24 hours from birth, while a latent period of 10-19 days are observed. Once infected, this vector can transmit SCV for up to 2 weeks.
context_page_description: Strawberry crinkle cytorhabdovirus, commonly called Strawberry crinkle virus, is a negative sense single stranded RNA virus that threatens strawberry production worldwide. This virus reduces plant rigidity, runner production, fruit size, and production, while causing distortion and crinkling of the leaves. This virus was first described in 1932 in Oregon and California with commercial strawberry varieties, and later became an issue around the world, including North America, South America, Europe, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, and Japan. Of the family Rhabdoviridae, it is a large family of viruses that affects plants, vertebrates, and invertebrates. Specifically, this virus is transmitted through two aphid vectors that feed on strawberry plants of genus Fragaria, Chaetosiphon fragaefolii and C. jacobi. When SCV is combined with other aphid-transmitted strawberry viruses, such as mottle, mild yellow-edge, vein banding, or pallidosis, the damage becomes even more deleterious. Economically, Fragaria ananassa are those being affected by SCV.
