Rice stripe virus (RSV), its vector insect (small brown planthopper, SBPH) and climatic conditions in Jiangsu, China were monitored between 2002 and 2012 to determine key biotic and abiotic factors driving epidemics of the disease.

Disease severity of RSV was positively correlated with viruliferous rate of the vector but not with the population density of the insect, suggesting ...[more]
