Family: Plantaginaceae Ornamental
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV)
Taxonomic position
Genus: Cucumovirus Family: Bromoviridae
CMV infection in plants of Antirrhinum majus was reported from Argentina (Arneodo et al. 2005). The virus-infected snapdragon plants exhibit mosaic 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
Infection of snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus) by INSV has been reported from many countries including the USA and Italy (Daughtrey 1996; Daughtrey et al. 1997; Vaira et al. 1993), causing symptoms including stem discoloration, wilt, and white leaf spotting. The virus is transmitted by thrips vectors in a persistent-propagative manner, and also by mechanical sap-inoculation to a large number of hosts. For more...
