General comments

Infected plants often also contain a potyvirus. Four potyviruses, all causing conspicuous symptoms, have been isolated from Bryonia spp; bryonia mottle virus occurs in Morocco (Lockhart and Fischer, 1979), and the other three (P1, P2 and P3) were isolated in northern Italy (Milne et al., 1980). The relationships of these potyviruses are unknown.
