Prevention and control of new and invasive geminiviruses infecting vegetables in the Mediterranean – PRIMA2018 The GeMed project is dedicated to the assessment of the phytopathological situation and the prevention of potentially dangerous invasive geminivirus infections in the Mediterranean area, with regard to cucurbit and tomato crops. The “circulating geminiviroma” will be evaluated through VEM technology applied to geminivirus vectors and on leaf samples collected in different areas of the Mediterranean. Data will be acquired on the life cycle and presence of vector insects and in particular of Orosius spp,…
