Virus and Other Graft-Transmissible Diseases and Disorders of Apples
Virus diseases cause economic losses through lower yields and reduced quality of apples and apple products. In general, virus diseases in perennial crop plants, such as apples, are more potentially damaging than in annual crops. Viruses can remain latent, spreading through an orchard and inflicting damage, often without the growers' knowledge. Latent virus infection can produce small to moderate losses in fruit production. Often growers can maintain the productivity of diseased orchards at a profitable level by removing infected plant parts and replacing dead trees to limit the spread of the virus. Sometimes, however, losses are severe, and an acute viral infection can require tree removal.

How Virus Diseases Are Spread
Apple virus diseases are mainly spread thorough vegetative propagation. Because of this, in apple production, two methods are used to control virus diseases: adoption of virus-free propagation materials and eradication of contaminated trees. Voice changer software. In addition, in areas where tomato ringspot virus is endemic, practices may be employed to minimize alternative virus hosts (i.e., deciduous weeds) and reduce nematode vector populations.
Some virus infections cause incompatibility between apple rootstock and scion cultivars, affecting yields and profitability of apple nurseries. A low success rate of successful grafting in nurseries may be attributed to virus infection. Reductions in bud survival have been reported to range from 20% to 67%. The degree of impact depends on the pathogen or its strain in combination with fruit type, cultivar, rootstock, nutrient supply, and tree age.
If you want simple virus protection that you can count on, AVG's free tier is a good pick. When AV-Test put it to the test, it had a 100 percent protection rate from 145 samples.
Virus Testing
Virus testing of imported propagation materials into the United States has been the most important measure used to prevent the introduction and spread of unwanted viruses.
The testing and use of virus-free materials have different benefits for each of the three sectors involved: nurseries, growers, and consumers.
Growers and nurseries benefit from virus testing in three ways:
- reduced yield losses from viruses.
- no need to invest in other virus control measures.
- reduced risk of virus spread.
Consumers benefit from lower prices and more abundant fruit.
National Virus-Testing Facility
There are two facilities that tests for viruses in fruit trees in the United States. One is the National Research Support Project 5 (NRSP-5). The NRSP-5, located at the Washington State University Irrigated Research and Extension Center in Prosser, Washington, implements the nation's virus protection program for all deciduous fruit trees. NRSP-5 is responsible for providing sources of deciduous fruit tree propagation materials free of virus and virus-like diseases. NRSP-5 also develops, evaluates, and implements new technologies for virus detection and the elimination of viruses and virus-like agents from commercially important cultivars. Prior to the establishment of NRSP-5, viruses abounded in every fruit-growing region in the United States. The success of this project has resulted in a dramatic reduction in the incidence of viral diseases. The other, according to Renee DeVries, is the Plant Germplasm Quarantine Office (PGQO), Beltsville Agricultural Research Center, Beltsville, Maryland.

List of Potential Viruses
A short list and description of potential viruses are provided in Table 1. The list is not exhaustive, as many other viruses and strains of known viruses are not listed here. In addition, many unconfirmed graft-transmissible causal agents may ultimately be shown to be viruses or phytoplasma. Table 2 provides information on yield reduction caused by virus diseases in apple.

We design Mac hardware and software with advanced technologies that work together to run apps more securely, protect your data, and help keep you safe on the web. And with macOS Catalina available as a free upgrade, it's easy to get the most secure version of macOS for your Mac.*
Apple T2 chip.
The next generation of security.
The Apple T2 Security Chip — included with many newer Mac models — keeps your Mac safer than ever. The Secure Enclave coprocessor in the Apple T2 chip provides the foundation for Touch ID, secure boot, and encrypted storage capabilities. Touch ID gives you a seamless way to use your fingerprint to unlock your Mac, fill passwords in Safari, and make purchases with Apple Pay. Secure boot helps ensure that you are running trusted operating system software from Apple, while the Apple T2 chip automatically encrypts the data on your Mac. So you can be confident knowing that security has been designed right into the architecture of your Mac, from the ground up.
Apple helps you keep your Mac secure with software updates.
The best way to keep your Mac secure is to run the latest software. When new updates are available, macOS sends you a notification — or you can opt in to have updates installed automatically when your Mac is not in use. macOS checks for new updates every day, so it's easy to always have the latest and safest version.
Protection starts at the core.
The technically sophisticated runtime protections in macOS work at the very core of your Mac to keep your system safe from malware. This starts with state-of-the-art antivirus software built in to block and remove malware. Technologies like XD (execute disable), ASLR (address space layout randomization), and SIP (system integrity protection) make it difficult for malware to do harm, and they ensure that processes with root permission cannot change critical system files.

Download apps safely from the Mac App Store. And the internet.
Now apps from both the App Store and the internet can be installed worry-free. App Review makes sure each app in the App Store is reviewed before it's accepted. Gatekeeper on your Mac ensures that all apps from the internet have already been checked by Apple for known malicious code — before you run them the first time. If there's ever a problem with an app, Apple can quickly stop new installations and even block the app from launching again.
Stay in control of what data apps can access.
Apps need your permission to access files in your Documents, Downloads, and Desktop folders as well as in iCloud Drive and external volumes. And you'll be prompted before any app can access the camera or mic, capture keyboard activity, or take a photo or video of your screen.
FileVault 2 encrypts your data.
With FileVault 2, your data is safe and secure — even if your Mac falls into the wrong hands. FileVault 2 encrypts the entire drive on your Mac, protecting your data with XTS-AES 128 encryption. And on Mac systems with an Apple T2 Security Chip, FileVault 2 keys are created and protected by the Secure Enclave for even more security.
Designed to protect your privacy.
The most secure browser for your Mac is the one that comes with your Mac. Built-in privacy features in Safari, like Intelligent Tracking Prevention, help keep your browsing your business. Automatic strong passwords make it easy to create and use unique passwords for all the sites you visit. And iCloud Keychain syncs those passwords securely across all your devices, so you don't have to remember them. You can also easily find and upgrade any weak passwords you've previously used (and reused and reused and reused).
Automatic protections from harmful sites.
Safari also helps safeguard you against fraudulent websites and those that harbor malware — before you visit them. If a website seems suspicious, Safari prevents it from loading and notifies you. And when connecting to unencrypted sites, Safari will warn you. So everything you need to browse without worry is right at your fingertips.
