E. Nwilene] Rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) is one of the most economically damaging diseases of rice in sub-Saharan Africa. It is found only in Africa and the surrounding islands, where it is transmitted by insect vectors such as Tricliispa sericea Guérin, Chaetocnema piala Chapius and Sesselia pusilla Gerst., (all Coleoptera) respectively within the subfamilies Hispinae, Halticinae and Galerucinae of the Chrysomelidae; Chnootriba (= Epilachna) similis Thunberg (Coleoptera: Coccinelidae); and Conocephahis longipennis de Haan (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae). These vectors are leaf-feeders with biting mouthparts and are abundantly present on rice and grasses in irrigated lowland fields. Transmission of RYMV is mechanical as a result of feeding damage. However, the dynamics of virus spread and the role of the vector is poorly understood. A better understanding of RYMV epidemiology requires information on the distribution, biology, host range, nature of damage, and management strategies of the vectors. It is hoped that this review will be a useful source of information in the further development of integrated pest/disease management (IPM)in rice.
