First report of Chickpea chlorotic dwarf virus naturally infecting chickpea in Tunisia
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) is one of three important legume species grown in Tunisia. Five viral species are known to infect chickpea in Tunisia: Bean leaf roll virus, Beet mosaic virus, Beet western yellows virus, Chickpea ...
Evidence that dicot-infecting mastreviruses arep articularly prone to inter-species recombination and have likely been circulating in Australia for longer than in Africa and the Middle East
Viruses of the genus Mastrevirus (family Geminiviridae) are transmitted by leafhoppers and infect either mono- or dicotyledonous plants. Here we have determined the full length sequences of 49 dicot-infecting mastrevirus ...
First report of Alfalfa leaf curl virus affecting alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and Tunisia
The genus Capulavirus (family Geminiviridae) includes plant-infecting single-stranded DNA viruses with circular genomes that have been characterized in most parts of the world (Zerbini et al. 2017). Among the capulaviruses, ...
First report of Cotton leafroll dwarf virus affecting chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) in Uzbekistan
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.; family Fabaceae) plants with symptoms typical of virus infection (chlorosis, stunting, necrosis, yellowing, and reddening) were collected during disease surveys in June 2012 (386 samples from ...
Transmission of broad bean stain comovirus and broad bean mottle bromovirus by weevils in Syria
Four weevil species naturally occurring on legumes in Syria were assayed for their ability to transmit the viruses from infected lentil or faba bean plants to healthy ones. Apion arrogans, Sitona limosus and S. lineatus ...
Virus resistance of Australian pea (Pisum sativum) varieties
Australian pea varieties were evaluated for virus resistance using spreader plots sown with Pea
seed-borne mosaic virus (PSbMV)-infected seed and aphid inoculations with Bean leafroll virus
(BLRV). Natural infections by ...

A total of 482 chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), 182 lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.), 12 vetch (Vicia sativa L.), 5 field pea (Pisum sativum L.), and 3 faba bean (Vicia faba L.) samples were collected from plants with symptoms ...
First Report of Alfalfa Leaf Curl Virus Affecting Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Tunisia
The genus Capulavirus (family Geminiviridae) includes plant-infecting single-stranded DNA viruses with circular genomes that have been characterized in Africa, Europe, and Asia (Bernardo et al. 2016; Susi et al. 2017). ...
Developing an artificial inoculation technique for screening chickpea genotypes against a Syrian isolate of Chickpea chlorotic stunt virus
Chickpea chlorotic stunt virus (CpCSV) is the most important virus affecting chickpea crop in several countries of West Asia and North Africa (WANA), including Syria. The main objective of this study was to develop a ...
