Nomenclature

ICTV decimal code

Host range and symptoms

Natural host range and symptoms

• Cicer arietinum - mosaic, leaf malformation, stunting.

Transmission

Transmitted by a vector; an insect; Aphis craccivora Koch., A. gossypii Glover, Myzus persicae Sulz.; Aphididae. Transmitted in a non-persistent manner. Virus transmitted by mechanical inoculation; transmitted by grafting; not transmitted by contact between plants; not transmitted by seed.

Ecology and control

Studies reported by Mali (1980, 1985, 1988a); Mali and Vyanjane (1980a, 1980c, 1981); Polajiwar (1985).

Geographical distribution

Spreads in India (Maharashtra State).

Experimental host range

Several (3-9) families susceptible.

Diagnostically susceptible host species and symptoms

Sources of host-range data

Mali (1985); Mali and Vyanjane (1980a); Mali and Vyanjane (1980b); Polajiwar (1985); Mali et al. (1988a).

Physical and biochemical properties

Properties of particles in sap

TIP: 65-70 °C. LIV: 2.5 days. DEP: log₁₀ minus 5-6. Leaf sap contains few virions.

Purification method

Mali et al. (1985, 1988a).

Particle morphology

Virions filamentous; not enveloped; usually flexuous; with a clear modal length; of 750 nm; 11 nm wide. Axial canal obscure. Basic helix obscure.

Cytopathology

Inclusions present in infected cells; are pinwheels (associated with scrolls, but not laminated aggregates in chickpea infected cells. Inclusions like those of subdivision I of the potyvirus group (Edwardson, 1974; Mali et al., 1988b)).

Taxonomy and relationships

Potyvirus: Potyviridae

Virus(es) with serologically related virions

Bean common mosaic, bean yellow mosaic, peanut mottle, soybean mosaic, wisteria vein mosaic and swordbean distortion mosaic viruses.

Virus(es) with serologically unrelated virions

Blackeye cowpea mosaic, celery mosaic, cowpea aphid-borne mosaic, datura distortion mosaic, papaya ringspot, potato Y, watermelon mosaic 1 and watermelon mosaic 2 viruses.

Best tests for diagnosis

Chickpea is known to be naturally infected with potyviruses like bean yellow mosaic (BYMV) (Erwin and Snyder, 1958; Kaiser and Danesh, 1971), and its strains chickpea narrow leaf virus (CNLV) (Chalam et al., 1985) and chickpea filiform virus (CFV) (Kaiser et al., 1988). CpDMV is distinct from BYMV in host range and inclusion (CCI) morphology which for the latter are type II inclusions (Edwardson et al., 1987).
