caption_attribution_description: English: Aphid of the genus Cavariella. This aphid is known as the vector of the carrot yellow leaf virus (CYLV).
context_page_description: The carrot yellow-leaf virus infects carrots, particularly the carrot root cells. There are viruses that are similar to CYLV which affect hogweed and beet roots as well.
context_section_description: The first infection by the CYLV was reported in Japan in the carrot species Daucus carota in 1976.
  The first occurrence reported in Europe of infection in carrots by CYLV was in 1985. In 2009, more than 10% of the yield in the United Kingdom was infected by the carrot yellow leaf virus. It is believed that this virus is the main causal pathogen of carrot necrosis and its removal would reduce the incidence of necrosis in carrots by 96%.
