Abstract: The “Mal de Río Cuarto” disease in maize is a viral disease caused by a reovirus (MRCV) and transmitted by the delphacid planthopper Delphacodes kuscheli Fennah in a persistent manner. Although the disease is endemic in only one provincial department, when regional outbreaks occur the losses in maize production are very significant.
