The symptoms consist of stunted growth, lesions, mosaic leaves, and death, (researchgate.net). These symptoms generally appear around 10 days after germination of the host plant. The symptoms of this disease affect maize and barley plants the most. In 2015, it was found that BMV had coinfected Triticale with Wheat Streak Mosaic Virus. This was the first report of coinfection between those two viruses and raises and the first report of BMV infecting Triticale. This raises questions on whether or not the two viruses share a common vector and how they interact with each other. They are currently researching further into this occurrence (K. Trzmiel, 2015). Management As of now there is no treatment for this virus once the plant has been infected. There are only measures of prevention of this disease. One option is to use a strain of plant that is resistant to this virus. Since this is a virus fungicides will have no effect on the spread or infection of this disease. Make sure to remove all perennial weeds in the area and to use insecticide to help kill vectors of this disease, (plantnatural.com). Make sure to clean equipment and hands before contact with plants. Lastly, removal of infected plants is crucial to the health of surrounding plants and is key to stopping the spread of this disease, (Wheat Streak Mosaic Virus on Wheat: Biology and Management). There are currently no biological control methods to combat this virus. It has been found that the most effective way to combat this virus is to use strains of crop that have resistance to this virus and to use pesticides to remove any vectors that could carry this disease because one of the number one causes of this disease vectors transmitting it to multiple plants after taking up the virus. Environment and importance Environments that are most suitable for this disease are generally damp because viruses are transmitted easier when the plants are wet. It is also found in areas that have a heavy amount of wheat plants present and where there is a lot of human contact or exposure Humans are one of the most common vectors used to spread this disease. The temperature range at which this disease is most infective at 20°C to 36°C, according to “Plant Viruses” on page 417. There are multiple vectors for this virus. The vector that is most associated with this disease is
