Plant viruses of the family Potyviridae, long thread-like viruses spread mostly by aphids that cause mosaics and streaks in potato, papaya, wheat, fruit trees and other crops. A virus belongs here when its cited article places it in the family Potyviridae. Most of them are spread by aphids in a non-persistent way, often within minutes of feeding, which makes them hard to control with insecticides alone, so growers rely on clean planting material, resistant varieties and removal of infected plants. This heading gathers the potyvirus family viruses of the atlas so a visitor can compare their hosts and the diseases they cause.
