57.0.1.T.016

Host range and symptoms

Natural host range and symptoms

Symptoms persist.
• Apium graveolens - conspicuous leaf chlorosis (except in cv. Florida 683 strain K which is tolerant).

Transmission

Transmitted by a vector; an insect; Myzus persicae; Aphididae. Transmitted in a non-persistent manner. Virus transmitted by mechanical inoculation.

Geographical distribution

Spreads in Brazil.

Experimental host range

Few (<3) families susceptible.

Diagnostically susceptible host species and symptoms
