Nomenclature

Acronym

CeYSV

ICTV decimal code

39.0.1.T.002

Host range and symptoms

Natural host range and symptoms

Symptoms persist.
• Apium graveolens - pale green spots and stripes, with yellow spots and stripes along veins.
• Conium maculatum - symptomless infection.
• Pastinaca sativa - mild leaf chlorosis.

Transmission

Transmitted by a vector; an insect; Hyadaphis foeniculi; Aphididae. Not transmitted by Myzus persicae. Transmitted in a persistent manner. Virus not transmitted by mechanical inoculation (usually).

Geographical distribution

Spreads in the UK and the USA (in California).

Experimental host range

Few (<3) families susceptible. Experimentally infected plants mostly show chlorotic spots and stripes, or mild leaf chlorosis.

Diagnostically susceptible host species and symptoms

• Apium graveolens - systemic yellow spots and stripes along the veins.
• Conium maculatum - symptomless systemic infection.
• Pastinaca sativa - faint systemic leaf chlorosis.

Diagnostically insusceptible host species

Anthriscus cerefolium, Coriandrum sativum, Cucumis sativus, Daucus carota, Foeniculum vulgare, Lycopersicon esculentum, Nicotiana glutinosa, N. tabacum, Petroselinum crispum, Petunia × hybrida, Phaseolus vulgaris, Tetragonia tetragonioides.
