Synonyms
Dendrocalamus spp.
Family: Poaceae Commercial timber
Bamboo mosaic virus (BaMV)
Taxonomic position
Genus: Potexvirus Family: Alphaflexiviridae
Geographical distribution
BaMV infection in plants of Bambusa spp. was first reported from Brazil (Lin et al. 1979). The virus spreads in Southeast Asia, Brazil, the Philippines, Florida (USA), Australia, China, and Taiwan (Chen 1985; Lin and Chen 1991; Lin et al. 1993, 1995, 2005, 2015, 2016a, b; Elliott and Zettler 1996; Thomas and Dodman 1999).
Symptoms and host(s)
The virus-infected bamboo plants exhibit symptoms of mosaic, necrotic streaks on culms, and also vascular discoloration (Chen 1985).
Transmission
No vector is reported for this virus. However Chang et al. (2017) have reported BaMV genomic RNAs were detected inside the bodies of two dipteran insects, Gastrozona fasciventris and Atherigona orientalis, but not in thrips (Scirtothrips dorsalis), and these two dipteran insects are suspected to transmit this disease. The virus...
