Leafhopper-Borne Maize Yellow Stripe Tenui-like Virus (MYSV)
History • 1975,Egyptian National Campaign • For maize improvement has been • started • 1980,MYS infection has been • recorded as sporadic single infected • plants in maize fields of Lower Egypt • 1981,MYSV has been recorded and • identified using bioassay and EM
1991, First severe outbreak caused by MYSV in maize fields of Middle Egypt (BeniSuef, Giza and Minia) 1996,MYSV incidence has been confirmed in Sudan in some sorghum-infected samples 1999,Second severe outbreak caused by MYSV in Middle and Upper Egypt maize fields
1999, MYSV partial sequencing for viral genome in INRA, France has been done (Mahmoud et al, 2000) 2000, MYSV has been proven as causal for second outbreak in maize fields in Middle (Beni Suef) andUpper Egypt (Sohag and Quena) (Aboul-Ata et al, 2007)
2004-2007, Extensive field survey in Lower and Middle Egypt aiming at identifying MYSV-outbreak-causing factors. incidence was done using MYSV polyclonal Ab and PCR for maize, weed and insect vector 2010, Third severe outbreak caused by MYSV in maize fields at Beni Suef as Middle Egypt and Sohag and Quena as Upper Egypt
PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION
c a b • Insect-Inoculated • maize leaves have • Fine (a), Corse (b) stripe and Chlorotic Stunt (c) • Natural infection • Corse stripe • 2. Chlorotic 2 1
Nili-growing maize as sources of MYSV infection for the coming maize plantations
PCR reaction for samples 6 to 11 (bulk B) those collected from El-Fayoum and tested for MYSV Sequence of the primers used for virus detection.
Epidemiology of MYSV consists of long retention Period (insect life span), up to 10 days as incubation period in the maize hosts and up to 7 days as latency in the insect vector . MYSV is not transovarially transmitted Yield reduction, of moderate MYSV infection, is as much as 63.6 % in maize and it is 70.2 % In sweet corn (Aboul-Ata and Ammar, 1988 & 1991). There are no resistant or tolerant varieties against MYSV produced yet.
PROBLEM ANALYSIS
Maize yellow stripe virus (MYSV) has features in common with tenuiviruses, It is transmitted in a Persistent propagative manner by a leafhopper, Cicadulina chinai (Cicadellidae,Hemiptera). purified particles (filamentous, 4–8 nm in diameter) presence of needle-shaped non-capsid protein associated with MYSV infection

Liner Relationship between MYSV Infection % and Virulefirous Insect Vector %
Normal incidence of MYSV in maize fields is always low in summer. It is moderate in Nily season. Outbreak of severe MYSV infection could happen each 9 years when hot winter occurred. Recently, MYSV infection is higher than normal in summer season of 2004. Change of virus ecology could lead to a severe outbreak during summer 2009
