ICTV decimal code

79.0.P.DE.01

Host range and symptoms

Natural host range and symptoms

Symptoms vary seasonally.
• Trifolium hybridum - vein chlorosis, malformation.

Transmission

Virus transmitted by mechanical inoculation; not transmitted by seed; not transmitted by pollen.

Geographical distribution

Spreads in Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden.

Experimental host range

Few (<3) families susceptible. Experimentally infected plants mostly show necrotic local lesions, not systemic.

Diagnostically susceptible host species and symptoms

• Chenopodium amaranticolor, C. quinoa, Phaseolus vulgaris, Vigna unguiculata - chlorotic local lesions; not systemic.
• Lathyrus odoratus - chlorotic local lesions, wilting, death.
• Pisum sativum - necrotic local lesions; leaf malformation, death.
• Trifolium hybridum, T. incarnatum - systemic mosaic, chlorosis.
• Vicia faba - necrotic and chlorotic local lesions; usually not systemic.

Maintenance and propagation hosts

Trifolium hybridum.

Assay hosts (Local lesions or Whole plants)
