I could really use some help getting pictures for this. I'm rubbish at picture formatting. (a Mentally Efficient Loonies And Nice Insane Elephants creation 14:07, 17 January 2007 (UTC)}[reply]

hi i have made changes to this page adding one more content " transmission through sap" i certfiy that this is my original work. further more i have added one more link in the external links column, so that users may get an overview of the plant virus transmission.--Shekharsuman 09:08, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've added some internal references, but a few of the existing ones are broken. I'm not a planty person - can anyone else put in suitable alternatives or remove them? It struck me reading through this article that many of its statements are rather general. Any experts out there want to add some detail please??? Emble64 (talk) 16:39, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm no expert on plant viruses, but I'll try and get round to sorting this out one day. In the mean time, don't be afraid to be bold and DIY. With google scholar + journal access anyone can be an expert. Smartse (talk) 16:52, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am concerned about the accuracy of the section on Direct plant-to-human transmission. In the paper referenced, they did not fulfill Koch's postulates or even detect PMMoV in epithelial cells. They did find that the titer of PMMoV decreased over time in feces, but this is not surprising as PMMoV is a Tobamovirus which are incredibly stable. All they have is a small correlation between consumption of hot sauce containing PMMoV and gastrointestinal symptoms. I don't think that this is enough to warrant a section in transmission.
