The epidemiology of barley yellow dwarf disease is highly complex, involving numerous interactions between the abiotic environment and the crop, virus and vector - components of the disease. Barley yellow dwarf is the most economically damaging virus disease of grass and cereal crops worldwide. The disease identified as BYD has been reported in all countries in Europe causing losses on barley and oats, wheat and maize; losses on grasses are recognized but more difficult to quantify. There are five different strains of viruses causing BYD disease and all of them induce similar symptoms of chlorosis and stunting in graminaceous hosts. This report represents an overview of system components and their interactions in the epidemiology of barley yellow dwarf disease. As the main components considered here are aphids - (the only vectors of these viruses), host plants and viruses causing BYD disease. Some aspects of interactions between these components are also discussed.
