Mathematical Model for Analyzing the Dynamics of Tungro Virus Disease in Rice: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

One of the main obstacles in rice cultivation is the tungro virus disease caused by Rice tungro spherical virus (RTSV) and Rice tungro bacilliform virus (RTBV). These viruses are transmitted by green leafhopper (Nephotettix virescens) vector, semi-persistently after sucking infected plants. Subsequently, the vectors migrate and suck susceptible plants, but they can be controlled chemically and biologically. Mathematical modeling is one of the tools that can be used to analyze the spread of disease in plants. A literature review was conducted regarding the mathematical model of the spread of tungro virus disease in rice plants with the data sourced from scholarly references available in the dimension database, Google Scholar, and Scopus in 2012–2021. The steps followed include conducting a literature analysis and examining the mathematical model of the transmission of tungro virus disease in rice plants to identify gaps for future research. The results show that since 2016, few studies have analyzed mathematical models of the spread of tungro virus disease in rice plants. This is evident from the data search results, which show that only four articles were acquired through the option of duplication and visualization using VOSviewer software.
