Cucumber mosaic virus        (CMV)

Taxonomic position

Genus: Cucumovirus        Family: Bromoviridae

CMV infection in plants of Lobelia spp. was reported from the USA, France, Italy, and New Zealand (Nameth and Fisher 2001; Lockhart et al. 2002; Cardin et al. 2005). The virus-infected lobelia plants exhibit mosaic, leaf deformation, and yellow ring-spot symptoms. The virus is transmitted by a number of aphid species in a non-persistent manner, and also by mechanical sap-inoculation to a large number of hosts. For more details of CMV, refer to Cucumis sativus.

Impatiens necrotic spot orthotospovirus        (INSV)

Taxonomic position

Genus: Orthotospovirus        Family: Tospoviridae

INSV has been reported from plants of Lobelia spp. in the USA, Italy, and Finland (DeAngelis et al. 1993; Gotta et al. 1996; Lemmetty et al. 2011). The virus-infected lobelia plants exhibit symptoms of chlorotic flecking, mottle, chlorotic or necrotic spots and ring-spots, distortion, and terminal...
