The 15 viruses were identified and described on plants from Fabaceae family in the Russian Far East. Most of these pathogens are entomophilic. The greatest species and strain diversity is represented by the Potyvirus ( Potyviridae ). According to the most complete surveys, the entomofauna of soybean fields includes over 100 species of phytophagous insects. The proportion of aphids (Homoptera: Aphididae) was up to 74 %. Soybean is colonized mainly by three species of aphids, Aulacortum solani , Aphis gossypii and Aphis glycines , which migrates from the territory of China. They are also the main vectors of viruses affecting soybean and other species of legumes.
