Studies have been conducted worldwide to document the extent of plant damage caused by BYDV. Its impact on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), and oats (Avena sativa L.) is variable, depending upon such factors as aphid vector species and infectivity, virus isolate(s), and plant stage infected. A summary of the grain yield losses from selected studies in Europe, Canada, USA, Ecuador, and Australia is provided. Included is information on vector species, artificial inoculation, natural infestation/infection, crop type, and growth stage infected, based principally on published studies from field and greenhouse experimentation.
