Host range and symptoms

Natural host range and symptoms

Symptoms persist. Symptoms mosaics.
• Bidens pilosa, Helianthus annuus - mosaic, necrosis.
• Lactuca sativa, Coreopsis lanceolata - mosaic.

Transmission

Transmitted by a vector; an insect; Aphis coreopsidis, Myzus persicae, Dactynotus spp.; Aphididae. Principal natural vector(s): Aphis coreopsidis. Transmitted in a non-persistent manner. Virus transmitted by mechanical inoculation; transmitted by grafting; not transmitted by seed.

Geographical distribution

Spreads in Brazil.

Experimental host range

Several (3-9) families susceptible. Experimentally infected plants mostly show mosaics, local necrotic lesions, local and systemic chlorotic spots.

Diagnostically susceptible host species and symptoms

• Nicotiana tabacum cv. White Burley - chlorotic local and systemic spotting.
• Zinnia elegans - systemic mosaic.
• Lactuca sativa, Pisum sativum - mosaic.
• Helianthus annuus - systemic chlorotic and necrotic spotting, mosaics.
• Callistephus chinensis - systemic vein clearing and mosaic.
• Acanthospermum hispidum - systemic chlorotic spots.
• Bidens pilosa - mosaic and vein banding.
• Chenopodium amaranticolor - necrotic local lesions.
• C. quinoa - chlorotic local lesions.

Diagnostically insusceptible host species

Phaseolus vulgaris, Cucurbita maxima, Euphorbia heterophylla, Triticum aestivum, Gomphrena globosa.

Maintenance and propagation hosts

Physical and biochemical properties

Properties of particles in sap

TIP: 55-60 °C. LIV: 5 days. DEP: log₁₀ minus 3. Leaf sap contains few virions.

Purification method

Marinho and Kitajima (1989).

Particle morphology

Virions filamentous; not enveloped; usually flexuous; with a clear modal length; of 730 nm; 15 nm wide. Axial canal obscure. Basic helix obscure.

Cytopathology

Virions found in leaves, mesophyll and the epidermis; in cytoplasm. Inclusions present in infected cells; are pinwheels. Other cellular changes: Kuhn et al. (1982).
