Dr. Eugenia A. Petropoulou is a researcher specializing in plant virology and plant pathology, with a strong focus on virus–host interactions affecting economically important crops. Her research centers on the identification, molecular characterization, and epidemiology of plant viruses, with emerging interests in viral diagnostics and disease surveillance under changing agro-environmental conditions. She has held key academic research positions at the University of Crete, Greece, contributing to collaborative national and international research initiatives in plant health and biosecurity. Dr. Petropoulou’s key contributions include the first documentation of previously unreported viral pathogens in grapevine systems, advancing early-warning diagnostics and strengthening phytosanitary frameworks. Her scholarly output has enhanced understanding of viral diversity and transmission pathways, supporting evidence-based disease management strategies. Through her work, she aims to bridge fundamental virology with applied plant protection, contributing to sustainable agriculture, crop resilience, and global food security through innovation-driven plant health research.
