Nomenclature

Acronym

CpFV

ICTV decimal code

57.0.1.T.018

Host range and symptoms

Natural host range and symptoms

Symptoms persist.
• Cicer arietinum - narrow, deformed leaflets, axillary buds proliferate and become stunted; fewer pods with small misshapen seeds.

Transmission

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

Geographical distribution

Found, but with no evidence of spread, in the U.S.A. (Washington State), in chickpea originating from India.

Experimental host range

Several (3-9) families susceptible.

Diagnostically susceptible host species and symptoms

• Cicer arietinum - filiform leaves, wilting and necrosis.
• Lens culinaris, Trigonella foenum-graecum - systemic leaf chlorosis, leaf curling and stunting.
• Nicotiana clevelandii - symptomless systemic infection.
• Chenopodium amaranticolor, C. quinoa, Gomphrena globosa - local lesions; no systemic infection.

Diagnostically insusceptible host species

Cassia occidentalis, Cucumis sativus, Nicotiana glutinosa, N. tabacum, Vigna unguiculata.

Maintenance and propagation hosts

Cicer arietinum.

Assay hosts (Local lesions or Whole plants)
