Some Properties of two Strains of Watermelon Mosaic Virus

“…The present strains of WMV are readily transmitted by Myzus persicae and Aphis gossypii in a non-persistent manner, which is in conformity with the results of other workers with WMV (ANDERSON 1952, 1954, LINDBERG et al 1956, KoMURO 1957, GROGAN et al 1959, BHARGAVA and JOSHI I960, VAN REGENMORTEL et al 1962, SINGH 1964, WEBB and SCOTT 1965, MILNE and GROGAN 1969, TE\CARI 1972, though MOLNAR and SCHMELZER (1964) and THOMAS (1971) failed in their attempts to transmit the virus by aphids.…”

Characterization of Hungarian isolates of zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV, potyvirus) transmitted by seeds of Cucurbita pepo var Styriaca

“…This virus is a relatively new, but very aggressive, member of the potyvirus group that has spread rapidly throughout the world, suggesting a very efficient transmission from plant to plant by several aphid species in a non‐persistent manner10 and a long‐distance distribution via infected seeds 11. 12 In Hungary, Cucumber mosaic virus and Watermelon mosaic virus have been reported as the main problem diseases in major cucurbit growing areas 13–19. ZYMV was first reported to cause severe disease in various cucurbit crops in Hungary in 1995 7.…”

Watermelon mosaic virus, a disease of cucurbits in new zealand

“…on differential hosts. WMV-2 was found to produce local lesions on Chenopodium amaranticolor (Cohen and Nitzany 1963;Molnar and Schmelzer 1964), whereas WMV-1 did not infect this host. Webb and Bohn (1961) described a cucurbit latent virus (CLV) from cantaloupe in California which produced local lesions on Chenopodium amaranticolor and was found by Webb et al (1965) to be widespread in areas of California, Arizona, and Washington.…”
