​​In the early 20th century, several plant diseases were credited to soilborne viruses, and it was theorized that nematodes potentially could be vectors. The discovery of nepoviruses is a critical event in the history of plant pathology because it uncovered the existence of a novel and previously unknown method for virus transmission. It also encouraged a greater interest in and justified the importance of both nematology and virology to agriculture worldwide.
