Dataset for: Modeling of virus transmission for PYVV by Trialeurodes vaporariorum

The effect of temperature on the behavior of the Potato yellow vein virus (PYVV), based on the interaction with its vector Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood, 1856) depending on the temperature at which the virus can be acquired and transmitted efficiently through a viruliferous adult, generating a tool to predict its potential transmission in areas where it is not present yet. The efficiency of PYVV transmission was determined through five controlled laboratory experiments at different temperatures (12, 15, 18, 20 y 25 ºC).

Whitefly adults were exposed for a period of 48 hours for the period of access to acquisition (PAA), then the viruliferous insects were transferred to free of virus plants (one insect per plant) for a period of access to inoculation (PAI) of 72 hours. At 30 days after the PAI, the presence of the virus was confirmed by RT-PCR. The highest transmission rates of the virus were obtained at 12 and 15ºC with 14 and 64 % respectively.
