Ageratum enation virus
Family : Geminiviridae
Genus : Begomovirus
Acronym : AEV
Introduction
Ageratum enation virus (AEV) is virus belonging to the genus, Begomovirus. It is known to infect several hosts such as Calendula officinalis, Ageratum houstonianum, tomato, pointed gourd (Trichosanthes dioica), zinnia, cat's whiskers (Cleome gynandra L.), Crassocephalum crepidioides and grain amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus L.) causing leaf curl, leaf enation and stunting symptoms.
Major Diseases
Leaf curl and enation disease
Geographical Distribution
Widespread
Particle Morphology
Geminate particles
Transmission Method
By whitefly, Bemisia tabaci

PCR
Host Range and Symptomatology
| Host | Symptoms |
| Calendula officinalis | Yellow vein net symptoms on leaves and leaf deformation, severely infected plants remained stunted and bore smaller sized and fewer flowers. |
| Ageratum houstonianum | Vein yellowing |
| Ageratum conyzoides | Vein yellowing |
| Crassocephalum crepidioides | Vein yellowing |
| Grain amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus) | Yellow vein net symptoms on leaves and leaf deformation, severely infected plants remained stunted and bore smaller sized and fewer flowers. |
| Pointed gourd (Trichosanthes dioica) | Mosaic and leaf distiotion |
| Zinnia elegans | Leaf curl, leaf deformation and severely infected plants are stunted |
| Cat's whiskers (Cleome gynandra L.) | Leaf curl, leaf deformation and severely infected plants are stunted |
| Tomato | Leaf curl, leaf deformation and severely infected plants are stunted. |
