Abstract
Plant viruses represent the most damaging pathogens causing production losses and endangering the survival of infected plants. In grapevine, one of the most valuable horticultural crop in the world, one hundred and one viruses have been identified so far, being the plant where the most viral entities are known. Of these, grapevine is severely affected by viruses belonging to four major disease complexes: leafroll, rugose wood, infectious degeneration and decline, and fleck. The viruses associated with these diseases are transmitted by mealybugs, insects, or nematodes. In this review, several methods of grapevine viruses and virus diseases management have been presented, such as: virus identification, producing the virus-free propagating material, vector monitoring, rouging the diseased grapevines, using resistant and transgenic plants.
