How do viruses traffic on the 'vascular highway'?

Recent evidence has suggested that the mechanism(s) by which viruses enter and exit the vasculature may be quite different from those involved in cell-to-cell movement and the challenge is to determine precisely how, where and when this occurs. Attention has focused on the companion cell-sieve element boundary and on the need to identify viral and host factors involved in these processes. It is suggested that central to these studies will be the identification of the viral form(s) that are involved in long-distance movement. It is concluded that the use of new technologies may provide insight into these questions and the foundation for a thorough understanding of viral movement and macromolecular trafficking within the phloem.
