Host range and symptoms

Natural host range and symptoms

Symptoms veinal mottle, malformation.
• Capsicum annuum, C. frutescens - dark green mottling adjacent to main leaf veins, reduction in leaf area and distortion; plants stunted (severity dependent upon cultivar and duration of infection).
• Capsicum spp. - veinal mottle, malformation.

Transmission

Transmitted by a vector; an insect; Aphis craccivora, A. gossypii, A. spiraecola, Myzus persicae, Toxoptera citricidus, Hysteroneura setarieae, Rhopalosiphum maidis; Aphididae. Transmitted in a non-persistent manner. Virus transmitted by mechanical inoculation; transmitted by grafting; not transmitted by seed.

Geographical distribution

Spreads in Korea D.P.R. (North), Korea Republic, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Thailand.

Experimental host range
