Abstract

Water can be an important source of plant pathogenic viruses. Usually they are present in low concentrations, but environmental waters still represent a potential pathway for virus transmission. Already over 30 years ago, plant viruses have been shown to be present in environmental waters in considerable amounts (Koenig, 1986). Since then, many questions concerning the origin, survival, and spread of plant viruses by water have been raised, especially in the light of increased irrigation and use of hydroponic systems in agriculture (Mehle and Ravnikar 2012). The majority of the plant pathogenic viruses recovered from environmental waters so far are very stable. They can infect plants via the roots without the aid of a vector and often have a wide host range (Mehle and Ravnikar 2012). The release of such viruses from plants can lead to their diffusion in streams, rivers and lakes, thereby ensuring the long-distance spread of viruses that would otherwise remain restricted to limited areas (Mehle et al., 2014; Mehle and Ravnikar, 2012).
