Host range and symptoms

Natural host range and symptoms

• Brassica campestris ssp. rapa - symptomless infection, even in complex with physalis blotch virus.

Transmission

Transmitted by a vector; an insect; Acyrthosiphon (Aulocorthum) solani, Myzus persicae; Aphididae. Not transmitted by Aphis nasturtii, Macrosiphum euphorbiae, Myzus (Sciamyzus) ascalonicus. Transmitted in a persistent manner.

Geographical distribution
