Apple stem pitting virus
Family : Betaflexiviridae
Genus : Foveavirus
Acronym : ASPV
Introduction
Apple stem pitting virus (ASPV) is associated with Top working of apple disease which is a serious constraint to the production of apple. The disease is characterized by curling, puckering, and necrosis on leaves. The other two viruses associated with top working disease are Apple stem grooving virus (ASGV) and Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV)
Major Diseases
Stem pitting disease
Geographical Distribution
Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir
Particle Morphology
Flexuous particles
Transmission Method
Unknown
Detection
ELISA, RT-PCR
Host Range and Symptomatology
| Host | Symptoms |
| Apple | Curling, puckering, and necrosis on leaves |
| Pear (Pyrus communis) | Deformed fruits, along with occasional chlorotic spots on leaves |
