Nomenclature

Synonyms

hogweed 4 virus (Bem and Murant, 1979; Van Dijk and Bos, 1989).

ICTV decimal code

79.0.P.DE.29

Host range and symptoms

Natural host range and symptoms

Symptoms chlorosis and curling of older leaves.
• Pastinaca sativa - leaf chlorosis and curling.
• Heracleum sphondylium.

Transmission

Virus transmitted by mechanical inoculation; not transmitted by seed.

Geographical distribution

Spreads in the Netherlands. Found, but with no evidence of spread, in the U.K.

Experimental host range

Several (3-9) families susceptible. Experimentally infected plants mostly show chlorotic to necrotic local lesions.

Diagnostically susceptible host species and symptoms

• Ammi majus - local and systemic necrosis and chlorosis.
• Chenopodium quinoa - chlorotic local lesions; systemic chlorotic spotting and malformation.
• Chenopodium amaranticolor, Cucumis sativus - chlorotic local lesions; not systemic.
• Montia perfoliata, Spinacia oleracea - latent.

Diagnostically insusceptible host species

Cyamopsis tetragonoloba, Phaseolus vulgaris, Nicotiana clevelandii, N. tabacum.

Maintenance and propagation hosts
