Occurrence and distribution of cucumber mosaic virus in cucurbits in Karanganyar, Central Java, Indonesia

Abstract

Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is an important pathogen in agricultural crops which is spread throughout the world with a wide host range. In Indonesia, CMV is also an important pathogen that infect various high economic value crops. Karanganyar regency is a horticultural production centers in Central Java. Its foremost products are cucurbits incuding cucumber (Cucumis sativus), melon (Cucumis melo), watermelon (Citrullus lanatus), pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata), chayote (Sechium edule), angled luffa (Luffa acutangula) and bitter melon (Momordica charantia). Recently, cucurbits crops in the area suffered from disease with symptoms of virus infection, especially CMV, that is, mosaic, vein clearing, vein banding, malformation, etc. The disease is detrimental to farmers. This research aimed to determine whether the causal agent of disease in the crops is CMV. For that, the authors conducted a survey in the field, picked up sample crops showing symptoms, brought the sample crops to the laboratory, and checked for the presence of CMV by triple antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (TAS-ELISA). The results showed that of the 50 sample crops including 7 species of cucurbits showing symptoms of virus infection, 12 were detected to be infected by CMV. CMV was distributed evenly in cucurbits in Karanganyar regency.

Potensi Bakteri Agens Hayati untuk Menekan infeksi Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) pada Melon (Cucumis melo L.)

“…Infeksi CMV pada melon di Spanyol dilaporkan telah menyebabkan kehilangan total produksi mencapai 60% (Alonso-Prados et al 1997). Infeksi CMV pada melon di Indonesia di antaranya telah terjadi di wilayah Kabupaten Karanganyar dengan persentase kejadian penyakit 0.6%-64% (Supyani et al 2017). CMV merupakan salah satu dari tiga virus utama yang ditemukan menginfeksi mentimun di kabupaten Bogor, Subang, dan Karawang (Laili dan Damayanti 2019) dan pertanaman mentimun di Jawa (Listihani 2018).…”

Detection of disease in Cucurbita maxima Duch. ex Lam. caused by a mixed infection of Zucchini yellow mosaic virus, Watermelon mosaic virus, and Cucumber mosaic virus in Southeast China using a novel small RNA sequencing method

“…New viruses are regularly isolated and almost one ‘new’ cucurbit virus has been reported every 2 years for the past 35 years, although some of these had already been reported on other hosts. Furthermore, the occurrence of single, co-, and triple infections of cucurbit vegetables with Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV; a Cucumovirus ), Watermelon mosaic virus (WMV; a Potyvirus ), and Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV; a Potyvirus ) has been reported recently in Karanganyar, Central Java, Indonesia and coastal areas of Tanzania (Sydanmetsa & Mbanzibwa, 2016; Supyani et al, 2017).…”
