Widely-based full-genome analyses enable development of universal and strain-specific PCR toolkit for wheat dwarf virus detection, revealing new alternative hosts and challenging strain-host specificity

Abstract Background Wheat dwarf virus (WDV) is a destructive cereal virus causing significant yield losses in wheat and barley. It is transmitted by the leafhopper Psammotettix alienus and can persist in wild grasses between growing seasons, making reliable detection and strain differentiation criti...
