Abstract
The chrysanthemum chlorotic mottle disease was first described by Dimock and Geissinger (1969), who noted that the disease was initially seen in 1967 in a number of commercial greenhouses. Dimock et al. (1971) concluded that the disease had a viral etiology since graft transmission was successful and since no pathogenic bacterium or fungus was found associated with the disease. The viroid nature of chrysanthemum chlorotic mottle was first reported by Romaine and Horst (1975). CCMV was determined to have physical characteristics similar to other viroids but differed by having a very narrow host range and by being less contagious than other viroids. The only hosts reported to be susceptible to CCMV are cultivars of Chrysanthemum morifolium, C. zawadskii var. latilobum,and C. zawadskii var. latilobum cv. Clara Curtiss. Fifty-one species and cultivars were tested, including 9 chrysanthemum species and 35 genera, to determine whether CCMV replication was supported. CCMV was infectious to 2 species of chrysanthemum and noninfectious to 11 species of plants known to support RNA replication of other viroids. CCMV has been reported to occur in infected chrysanthemums in Denmark (Paludan, 1980), France (Monsion et al., 1980), and India (Singh et al., 1978).
