Correction: Effects of Introduced and Indigenous Viruses on Native Plants: Exploring Their Disease Causing Potential at the Agro-Ecological Interface

There are several errors in this article:

The subtitle of this article is incorrect. The correct subtitle is “Virus Threat to Plant Biodiversity”.

Table 5 is incorrect. The common name of Hovea elliptica is missing. The authors have provided a corrected version below.

Table 5. Native plants in which infection with introduced or unidentified viruses was detected by ELISA tests on samples.

For an explanation of virus acronyms see Table 1,

^- =  Not tested,

* =  TuYV detected by BWYV polyclonal antibodies.

** =  Tospovirus positive sample tested negative for TSWV and Impatiens necrotic spot virus (INSV),

⁺ =  Native orchid collection. Samples were either tested individually or grouped (in 5’s-10’s) before testing. When sufficient grouped samples were present, percentage infection was calculated using the formula of Gibbs and Gower [71]. All orchid samples also tested for Cymbidium mosaic virus and Odontoglossum ringspot virus by ELISA, but none contained them.

In the Discussion section, the second sentence of the seventh paragraph is incorrect. The correct sentence is, “Previously, seven introduced viruses were reported naturally infecting native plants in the SWAFR (see Introduction).”
