"Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) is an important pathogen of solanaceous crops, causing the diseases 'spindle tuber' in potato and 'bunchy top' in tomato. Yield losses can be up to 65% in potato and as much as 50% in tomato. It has been found in many countries around the world, including parts of North and South America, Asia and Oceania. The disease is not endemic to western Europe and has previously only been identified on intercepted material and within controlled situations such as germplasm collections. However, in recent years outbreaks have been reported in both France (in potato) and the Netherlands (in tomato). In addition, the disease is established in eastern Europe, including certain countries that are planning to join the EU, e.g. Poland. These recent developments have heightened awareness of PSTVd and raised concerns about the possibility of an outbreak in the UK."

Seems User:Dienerto (contribs), without discussion, has been rewriting several articles (ie, Viroid; RNA world hypothesis; Potato spindle tuber viroid; Circular RNA; Non-cellular life) - in order to promote himself, his own studies and his own WP:POV - in addition - seems the editor is attempting to remove references to other studies, again without discussion, that may not agree with his own studies or WP:POV - the editor may (or may not) be correct in the contents - a closer look at the edits may be indicated - nonetheless - possible issues of WP:COI, WP:PROMO, WP:OWN, and WP:SPA may apply - comments welcome - in any case - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan (talk) 13:12, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
