Although several resources have compiled information on plant virus transmission, evidence-traceable integration of virus\u2013insect vector\u2013host plant relationships remains limited. Here, we developed the Virus\u2013Insect\u2013Plant Database (VIP-DB), an evidence-guided database that links literature-derived virus\u2013insect transmission records, host plant information, transmission mode annotations, taxonomic information, and traceable literature evidence. VIP-DB compiles 583 virus\u2013insect transmission relationships, 855 virus\u2013plant relationships with non-missing host plant information, and 1375 integrated virus\u2013insect\u2013plant records. Among these records, 120 lack host plant information and 51 lack transmission mode annotation. VIP-DB provides a curated and searchable resource for querying documented plant virus, insect vector, host plant, and transmission mode information. This database offers an evidence-traceable framework for comparative analyses of plant virus transmission relationships and supports future studies in plant virology, vector ecology, and disease management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/v18060679","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,18]],"date-time":"2026-06-18T07:33:54Z","timestamp":1781768034000},"page":"679","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["VIP-DB: A Comprehensive Database of Virus\u2013Insect\u2013Plant Relationships"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Tao","family":"Deng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information and Intelligence, Hunan Agricultural University, Changsha 410128, China"},{"name":"Department of Interdisciplinary Science and Smart Seed Industry Equipment, Yuelushan Laboratory, Changsha 410128, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dandan","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Plant Protection, Hunan Agricultural University, Changsha 410128, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xinghui","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information and Intelligence, Hunan Agricultural University, Changsha 410128, China"},{"name":"Department of Interdisciplinary Science and Smart Seed Industry Equipment, Yuelushan Laboratory, Changsha 410128, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hongyan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information and Intelligence, Hunan Agricultural University, Changsha 410128, China"},{"name":"Department of Interdisciplinary Science and Smart Seed Industry Equipment, Yuelushan Laboratory, Changsha 410128, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zheng","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Plant Protection, Hunan Agricultural University, Changsha 410128, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"98","DOI":"10.15302\/J-FASE-2021389","article-title":"Hemipteran-transmitted plant viruses: Research progress and control strategies","volume":"9","author":"Huang","year":"2022","journal-title":"Front.
