Mesta yellow vein mosaic virus

Family   : Geminiviridae
Genus    : Begomovirus
Acronym  : MeYVMV

Introduction

There are two cultivated species of Mesta namely Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus) and Rosella (Hibiscus subdanifolia). In eastern India Mesta yellow vein mosaic disease is associated with Mesta yellow vein mosaic virus and isolate of Cotton leaf curl Multan beta satellite (CLCuMB) while in northern India association of another species namely Mesta yellow vein mosaic Bahraich virus (MeYVMBV) and an isolate of Ludwigia leaf distortion beta satellite (LuLDB) are reported. Analysis of diseased kenaf showed presence of atleast three different monopartite begomovirus. In eastern and southern India Mesta yellow vein mosaic virus (MeYVMV) and Tomato leaf curl Joydebpur virus (ToLCJV) while in northern India a new begomovirus namelt Kenaf leaf curl virus (KLCuV).

Major Diseases

Transmission Method

Transmitted by white fly vector ( Bemisia tabaci ) in a persistent manner.
