Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) is a highly transmissible virus of the family Virgaviridae and the genus Tobamovirus. A loss of 10 to 15% was reported due to CGMMV infection in cucumber grown in greenhouses in Canada (1) and in China (4). Infected samples of cucumber, bottle gourd, and cantaloupe consisted of young fully expanded leaves showing symptoms of mottling, systemic mosaic, mild to severe yellow mottling, vein clearing, and blistering (3). During a field survey conducted to document the viruses infecting cucurbitaceous crops in Tamil Nadu State during 2014, a snake gourd field near Coimbatore was identified with symptoms of virus diseases: mosaic, mottling with reduction of leaf size, and phylloid flowers. Nicotiana glutinosa plants inoculated with crude sap extracts from symptomatic leaves of snake gourd showed systemic mosaic mottling symptoms, indicating the presence of a mechanically transmissible virus.
