The dataset includes three csv files: [1] effects of pre-inhabitation and viruses on the feeding behavior of Rhopalosiphum padi and R. maidis (min). [2] effects of pre-inhabitation and viruses on the fecundity of R. padi and R. maidis (total offspring in laboratory and field). [3] effect of pre-inhabitation and viruses on the host plant nutrient content (amino acids, total sterols, and simple sugars-mg/g). These data might be used by researchers studying positive interactions, effects of viruses on host plants and vectors, phytochemistry of the wheat plant, and feeding behavior of phloem-feeders.

We at TERN acknowledge the Traditional Owners and Custodians throughout Australia, New Zealand and all nations. We honour their profound connections to land, water, biodiversity and culture and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. 
Purpose
Pathogens and other parasites can have profound effects on biological communities and ecosystems. Here we explore how plant viruses (BYDV and CYDV) influence the foraging performance and fecundity of two aphid species( Rhopalosiphum maidis and R. padi), and the virus effects on the nutrient content of the host plant (Triticum aestivum-spring var.).
