Base de données des organismes associés aux végétaux dans l’océan Indien

The Indian Ocean plant-associated organism database is the result of the common work of the regional members of the PRPV network. PRPV is a regional network for plant protection in the South West Indian Ocean. The database records the reports of plant-associated viruses, bacteria, fungi and arthropods observed in the Comoros archipelago, Madagascar, Mauritius, Reunion and Seychelles. The PRPV database was created in 2008 and was released online in 2011. Mainly devoted to agricultural pests and beneficial organisms, it also contains observations from natural ecosystems. It is possible to extract lists of organisms by host plant and by country from the database. It is also possible to create maps from geo-referenced observations. The PRPV database also hosts taxonomic information and regulations related to the organisms inventoried. The database records are made by field practicioners and national agriculture extension services. The data undergo a scientific and administrative validation before being publicly accessible.
