Bioactivity-guided fractionation of an ethanolic extract of Vitis repens led to the isolation of resveratrol (1), 11-O-acetyl bergenin (2), and stigmast-4-en-3-one (3). The compounds were examined for their in vitro antitrypanosomal activities against trypomastigotes of Trypanosoma evansi. Resveratrol showed antitrypanosomal activity with an IC50 value of 0.13 microM, whereas 11-O-acetyl bergenin and stigmast-4-en-3-one exhibited IC50 values of 0.17 and 0.15 microM, respectively.

This study investigated the transmission of grapevine viruses, specifically grapevine red blotch virus (GRBV) and grapevine Pinot gris virus (GPGV), in vineyards in Niagara Region, Ontario, Canada. Forty sentinel vines that were confirmed free of GRBV and GPGV by both high-throughput sequencing (HTS) and endpoint polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were introduced to two vineyards (one organic and one conventional) that were heavily infected with both GRBV and GPGV. Four months post-introduction, the sentinel vines were relocated to a phytotron.

It is often caused by hereditary factors, such as male or female pattern baldness, but it can also result from various environmental factors, an unbalanced diet, or chronic illness. While hair loss is not life-threatening, it can cause significant anxiety, depression, and other psychological problems, ultimately impacting an individual's quality of life.

Grapevine leafroll-associated virus 3 (GLRaV-3), an economically significant pathogen of grapevines, is transmitted by , a mealybug commonly found in New Zealand vineyards. To help inform alternative GLRaV-3 control strategies, this study evaluated the three-way interaction between the mealybug, its plant host and the virus. The retention and transmission of GLRaV-3 by after access to non- host plants (and a non-GLRaV-3 host) White clover ( L.
