Endemic Viruses of Concern Tatterleaf / Citrange Stunt Infectious Variegation Citrus Leaf Rugose Psorosis complex Citrus leaf blotch Citrus tristeza decline
Department of Plant Industry Budwood certification Dr. Peggy Sieburth Winter Haven Budwood trees tested: Citrus tristeza virus decline isolate (MCA-13 positive) tested yearly OK to have budwood with the mild isolate of CTV Psorosis and Concave gum tested once by biological indexing now starting to test every 6 years Citrus leaf blotch virus (Dweet mottle virus) once every 6 years in budwood source trees and also in seed source trees since it is seed transmitted Citrus tatter leaf virus Infectious variegation virus is not tested for because it is mainly a problem for lemons which are limited in Florida Also test for viroids I, II, III, IV, V, and CEV every 6 years
Tatter Leaf and Citrange Stunt virus complex latent infections in Meyer lemons apparently wide spread in China Host Range and Symptoms when infected cultivars are propagated on trifoliate or hybrids (Swingle citrumelo, Carrizo, Troyer, and Kuharske citrange), trees are stunted and chlorotic, virus-induced incompability can infect a wide range of citrus cultivars causes mild symptoms if not on trifoliate rootstock can infect a wild range of herbaceous hosts
Tatter Leaf and Citrange Stunt virus complex continued Causal Agent one positive-sense RNA two subgenomic RNAs ORF 1 ORF 2 CP A(n) A(n) A(n) Transmission and Epidemiology graft transmitted by infected budwood mechanically transmitted to a range of hosts thought to be aphid transmitted? Identification characteristic bud union creasing symptoms on herbaceous hosts Control virus-free budwood, difficult to remove decontaminate tools, knives use rootstocks other than Poncirus hybrids Infectious cdna clone in our freezer

Infectious Variegation Citrus Variegation Virus (CVV) Host Range and Symptoms can infect most citrus species lemons, sour orange, citron, and grapefruit develop chlorotic leaf symptoms and distortion mild strains exist that cause only mild mottle or chlorotic flecking trees can be stunted, some fruit may be distorted symptoms are less in warm weather can be mechanically transmitted to some cowpeas (chlorotic or necrotic lesions and beans (chlorotic mottle or veinbanding)
Infectious Variegation Citrus Variegation Virus (CVV) continued Causal Agent ilarvirus 4 positive-sense RNAs, sperical particles Citrus crinkly leaf virus is a mild variant Transmission and Epidemiology grafting budwood mechanically inoculate seed transmitted apparently rare pollen transmission? Identification indexing by graft inoculation to lemon or citron mechanical inoculation to cowpea or bean Control infected budwood can be freed by thermotherapy or shoot tip grafting then use virus-free budwood
Leaf Rugose Citrus leaf rugose virus (CLRV) Host Range and Symptoms infects a broad range of citrus hosts Mexican lime, Eureka lemon, and Duncan grapefruit develop leaf puckering, pinpoint chlorotic spotting, and stunting can be mechanically transmitted to a range of noncitrus hosts

Identification indexing by grafting Eureka lemon or bush bean serology Control use virus-free budwood decontamination of pruning tools
Psorosis (psorosis A, mild; psorosis B, severe; concave gum; ) probably a complex of several diseases, which share common symptoms usually found present in old-line trees often bark scaling Host Range and Symptoms symptoms stronger on young leaves ranging from chlorotic flecks, to leaf mottling and chlorotic patterns scaling and flaking of bark on the trunk and limbs of sweet orange and grapefruit and occasionally mandarins -- usually not on other citrus wood becomes impregnated with gum concave gum thought to be related, mandarins and sweet oranges are affected, deep concavities in the trunk and main branches
Concave Gum Psorosis
Psorosis (psorosis A, mild; psorosis B, severe) continued Causal Agent Transmission and Epidemiology graft transmitted seed transmission rare apparently some unknown vector Identification field symptoms of bark scaling indexing by grafting to sweet orange or mandarin seedlings for leaf-flecking Control use virus-free budwood, use seed only from virus-free trees can use shoot-tip grafting or thermotherapy decontaminate tools

The complete nucleotide sequence of a Spanish isolate of Citrus psorosis virus: comparative analysis with other ophioviruses Brief Report S. Mart ın1, C. L opez2, M. L. Garc ıa3, G. Naum- Ongan ıa3, O. Grau3, R. Flores2, P. Moreno1, and J. Guerri1 Arch Virol (2005) 150: 167 176
Association of citrus psorosis B symptoms with a sequence variant of the Citrus psorosis virus RNA 2 Velazquez, K (Velazquez, K.)1; Pina, JA (Pina, J. A.)1; Navarro, L (Navarro, L.)1; Moreno, P (Moreno, P.)1; Guerri, J (Guerri, J.) PLANT PATHOLOGY 61: 448-456 The virus induces two different syndromes: psorosis A (PsA), characterized by limited bark scaling lesions in the trunk and main limbs, and a more aggressive form of the disease called psorosis B (PsB) with rampant bark lesions affecting even thin branches and chlorotic blotches in old leaves. In the greenhouse, the PsA and PsB syndromes can be induced by graft inoculating healthy citrus seedlings with non-lesion or with lesion bark inoculum from PsA-affected field trees. PsA- and PsB-inducing CPsV sub-isolates obtained by this procedure from the same tree showed segments of the RNA 2 enabled discrimination between PsA- and PsB-associated sequence variants. (i) PsA-inducing isolates contain PsB-associated sequence variants at low frequency, (ii) the PsB-associated sequence variant is predominant in blistered twigs and gummy pustules affecting old leaves, characteristic of PsB isolates, and (iii) the PsB-associated sequence variant accumulates preferentially in bark lesions of the trunk and limbs.

EXOTIC VIRUSES
Exotic Viruses of Concern Citrus chlorotic dwarf (CCD) Citrus yellow mosaic Leprosis Satsuma Dwarf Tristeza stem pitting Vein enation Sudden death
Vein Enation (Woody Gall) important commercially only when severe galling occurs on young trees budded to rough lemon rootstocks Host Range and Symptoms enations on the veins of Mexican lime, sour orange, and rough lemon swelling or galls on the stems of rough lemon and Mexican lime
Vein Enation (Woody Gall) continued Casual Agent spherical viruslike particles Transmission grafting aphid transmitted Myzus persicae, Toxoptera, citricida, and Aphis gossipii not mechanically transmitted Control clean budwood avoid use of rough lemon rootstocks
Leprosis and Zonate Chlorosis Host Range and Symptoms observed primarily on sweet orange sour orange and mandarins are also show symptoms other citrus normally do not show symptoms symptoms are chlorotic lesions, sometimes with a necrotic center later lesions become flat or raised necrotic areas leaves and fruit abscise when lesions are abundant, can get twig dieback can mechanically transmit to Chenopodium spp
Leprosis
Leprosis and Zonate Chlorosis continued Causal Agent controversy may be two different viruses causing similar diseases rare nuclear form that is rod shaped and more prevalent cytoplasmic form of baciliform particles would be expected to be a rhabdovirus positive-sense RNA virus with 2 RNAs virus is a mite virus Brevipalpus spp. virus multiplies in mites Transmission and Epidemiology transmitted by mites -- millions of individual infections graft transmitted with difficulty virus does not move long distances, systemically Control eliminate sources of inoculum control mites, acaricides to reduce mite population
