AI critic verdicts
- agroecologist · plausible
“Citrus tristeza virus spread via aphid vector (Toxoptera citricida) in South America is well-documented; vascular damage to citrus on sour-orange rootstock is canonical.”
- plant-pathologist · plausible
“CTV is a closterovirus phloem-limited (vascular system correct); aphid-vectored spread, especially after T. citricida arrival, drove South American epidemics. Eponymous-pathogen direction correct.”
