First Report of Citrus-Associated Rhabdovirus in Australia in Citrus

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: . When co-infected with cowpea severe mosaic virus (CPSMV), severe leaf mosaic is observed (Cornejo-Franco et al. 2022), noting that CPSMV causes mild leaf mottling in single infection of the host. The likely transmission of CiaRV by whitefly (Zhang et al. 2021), may result in the transmission of CiaRV to other hosts and possible mixed infections, increasing symptom severity. To our knowledge, this is the first report of CiaRV outside of China and it likely has been present in Australia for decades, possibly imported in budwood.
