Impatiens necrotic spot orthotospovirus (INSV)
Taxonomic position
Genus: Orthotospovirus Family: Tospoviridae
INSV infection in plants of Aphelandra squarrosa was reported from Portugal (Louro 1996). The virus-infected zebra plants exhibit symptoms such as veinal necrosis, distortion of young growth, stunting, and wilting. These symptoms can vary with the stage of growth of the host and with a variety of cultural conditions. The virus is transmitted by a thrips vector Frankliniella occidentalis in a persistent-propagative manner, and also by mechanical sap-inoculation to a large number of hosts. For more details of INSV, refer to Impatiens spp.
