this should also have been tagged #respelia and #aphid
there are a few more for which that also applies but i will not pester with those all at once! unless you would prefer that

An increase in the intensity and frequency of drought could impact aphid–virus–plant relationships. Jaime Jiménez et al. explored the combined effects of water regime and virus infection on plant traits, virus transmission, and #aphid feeding behavior: https://doi.org/10.1094/PHYTO-04-25-0130-R
