Host range and symptoms

Natural host range and symptoms

Symptoms persist (8/10), or vary seasonally (1/10), or disappear soon after infection (1/10).

Transmission

Transmitted by a vector (6/6); an insect (6/6); Aleyrodidae (1/6), or Aphididae (1/6), or Cicadellidae (1/6), or Pseudococcidae (3/6). Transmitted in a semi-persistent manner (3/4), or in a persistent manner (1/4). Virus retained when the vector moults (1/3), or lost by the vector when it moults (2/3); does not multiply in the vector (2/2); not transmitted congenitally to the progeny of the vector (3/3); requires, for vector transmission, a helper virus (1/1); transmitted by mechanical inoculation (2/10), or not transmitted by mechanical inoculation (8/10); transmitted by grafting (6/7), or not transmitted by grafting (1/7); not transmitted by contact between plants (6/6); transmitted by seed (2/6), or not transmitted by seed (4/6); transmitted by pollen to the seed (1/5), or not transmitted by pollen (4/5).
