Many species of mites, mainly eriophyids and tenuipalpids, induce symptoms in infested plants that may be mistaken for viral diseases or may hide infections pro-duced by unidentified putative viruses. The virus-mite interplay and the multitrophic interactions with their host plants are often inadequately described and require further clarifications. Advances in biotechnological methods could enable increas-ing identification and characterization of viruses transmitted and their potential mite vectors. This review examines the state of knowledge of mites and plant-virus interactions by summarizing the strengths and weaknesses in this research field, thus paving the way for new research directions.  aVírus1 aASTUA, J. de F.1 aKITAJIMA, E.
