Abstract： Diseases transmitted by vector thrips have become a major threat to a broad range of agricultural and horticultural crops. To date, 15 thrips species belonging to the family Thripidae and subfamily Thripinae, scarcely 0.2% of recorded Thysanoptera species, are reported to transmit plant viruses. However, 10 of these known vectors occur in China. In this paper, we summarize the species, host plants, distribution and other related information on vector thrips. Patterns of transmission and virus species transmitted by different vector thrips are also introduced.
