Family: Solanaceae Weed host
Pelargonium zonate spot virus (PZSV)
Taxonomic position
Genus: Anulavirus Family: Bromoviridae
PZSV infection in plants of Anthocercis ilicifolia was reported from Australia (Li et al. 2016). The virus-infected tailflower plants exhibit chlorosis and necrosis symptoms. Thrips are involved in transmitting this virus by carrying the virus-infected pollen grains on their bodies and introducing the virus into the susceptible hosts while feeding. The virus is mechanically sap-transmissible to a wide range of test plants. For more details of PZSV, refer to Pelargonium spp.
Yellow tailflower mild mottle virus (YTMMV)
