ICTV decimal code

57.0.1.0.011

Host range and symptoms

Natural host range and symptoms

Symptoms persist.
• Erigeron sp., Bidens sp., Senecio sp., Cichorium endiva, Lactuca sativa - mild chlorotic mottling.
• Lepidium virginicum, Lupinus angustifolius - chlorotic mottling.
• Fittonia albivenis - leaf malformation.
• Rudbeckia hirta hybridum, Zinnia elegans, Ageratum conyzoides - leaf chlorosis.

Transmission

Transmitted by a vector; an insect; Myzus persicae; Aphididae. Transmitted in a non-persistent manner. Virus transmitted by mechanical inoculation; not transmitted by seed.

Geographical distribution

Spreads in the USA.

Experimental host range

Several (3-9) families susceptible. Experimentally infected plants mostly show systemic mosaics, mottles, ringspots or necrosis.

Diagnostically susceptible host species and symptoms

• Chenopodium amaranticolor - chlorotic local lesions; not systemic.
• C. quinoa - chlorotic local lesions; systemic chlorotic spots and streaks.
• Helianthus annuus, Zinnia elegans, Nicotiana clevelandii, N. × edwardsonii, Lactuca sativa, Cyamopsis tetragonoloba - systemic leaf mottling, malformation and stunting.

Diagnostically insusceptible host species

Lactuca sativa cv. Valmaine, Brassica campestris (perviridis), Pisum sativum.

Maintenance and propagation hosts
