First Reports of Eggplant Mottled Dwarf Rhabdovirus in Cucumber and in Pepper.

Identification of Eggplant mottled dwarf virus in PEQ Hibiscus syriacus plants imported from Australia

“…After the first identification in eggplant (Solanum melongena) from southern Italy in 1969 (Martelli 1969), the virus has since been reported in some other economically important crops such as cucumber, pepper, potato, tomato and tobacco and has caused quality and yield loss (Roggero et al 1995;Babaie and Izadpanah 2002;Martelli et al 2011). The natural hosts of EMDV also includes ornamentals (honeysuckle, pelargonium and pittosporum) and wild species (Capparis spinosa, Solanum nigrum, S. sodomaeum) (Martelli et al 2011).…”

Complete Genome Sequence and Genome Analysis of Eggplant mottled dwarf virus‐Iranian Isolate

“…; Roggero et al. ). EMDV is an economically important virus in several regions of Iran, especially in potato crops, and can be found in high incidence in eggplant fields (Danesh and Lockhart ; Babaie ).…”

Development of one-tube real-time qRT-PCR and evaluation of RNA extraction methods for the detection of Eggplant mottled dwarf virus in different species

“…Eggplant mottled dwarf virus (EMDV), a member of the genus Nucleorhabdovirus (family Rhabdoviridae) (Jackson et al, 2005) has been reported in a range of cultivated plants (eggplant, tomato, potato, pepper, cucumber and tobacco) (Danesh and Lockhart, 1989;Roggero et al, 1995;Polverari et al, 1996;Katis et al, 2000;Mavrič et al, 2006), ornamental plants (pittosporum, honeysuckle, pelargonium, hibiscus) and wild plants (Caparis spinosa, Solanum nigrum, Withania somnifera, Euphorbia geniculata, Solanum sodomaeum) (El Maataoui et al, 1985;Castellano and Martelli, 1987;Martelli and Cherif, 1987;Al-Musa and Lockhart, 1990;Roggero et al, 1995;Katis et al, 2011). The virus has wide geographical dispersion and is endemic in countries surrounding the Mediterranean basin (Martelli and Hamadi, 1986;Adam et al, 1987;Aramburu et al, 2006;Mavrič et al, 2006).…”

“…The virus has wide geographical dispersion and is endemic in countries surrounding the Mediterranean basin (Martelli and Hamadi, 1986;Adam et al, 1987;Aramburu et al, 2006;Mavrič et al, 2006). EMDV is transmitted by leafhoppers (Della Giustina et al, 2000;Babaie and Izadpanah, 2003) and the affected plants show yellow veining, stunting and leaf curling (Roggero et al, 1995;Katis et al, 2011). The incidence of the virus in affected crops is low (Polverari et al, 1996;Katis et al, 2000), as in the case of other plant rhabdoviruses (Redinbaugh and Hogenhout, 2005).…”
