摘要

The major viral diseases that occur on rice plants in Zhejiang Province, eastern China, are stripe and rice black-streaked dwarf diseases. Rice stripe disease is only caused by rice stripe tenuivirus(RSV), while rice black-streaked dwarf disease can be caused by rice black-streaked dwarf fijivirus(RBSDV) and/or southern rice black-streaked dwarf fijivirus(SRBSDV). Here we review the characterization of these viruses, methods for their detection, and extensive surveys showing their occurrence and spread in the province.
