Thrips and Tospoviruses:
Proceedings of the 7th International Symposium on Thysanoptera

This Symposium, officially titled Thrips, Plants, Tospoviruses: the Millennial Review, was held in Reggio Calabria, Italy, from the 2-7th of July 2001. The intention was to bring together the various kinds of biologists who are interested in the interactions between these three different types of organism.

The meetings themselves proved very successful, despite some tospovirus workers indicating that they had no interest in thrips, and some thrips workers indicating that they had no interest in viruses. This was not unexpected. But the fact remains that tospoviruses are dependent on thrips for their survival in the field, and thrips are much more important as crop pests when they are vectoring tospoviruses. Moreover, the many biological phenomena involved in the interactions between plants, topoviruses and thrips remain remarkably little understood, in particular the origin (or origins) of their relationships. Indeed, one of the strongest signals coming from the meetings concerned our lack of evolutionary understanding, and thus our inability to predict the past or future trajectory of these relationships.

The 59 submitted papers were issued on a cd-rom as a single electronic .pdf file that is fully searchable by computer but can be printed out in colour as a 390-page volume by anyone who would like a hard copy in their library. Copies of this cd-rom are available without charge from: laurence.mound@csiro.au
