Maize stripe virus

Family   : Unassigned
Genus    : Tenuivirus
Acronym  : MSpV

Introduction

Maize stripe virus (MSpV) belongs to the unusual plant virus genus Tenuvirus. These viruses have characteristic thin (3-6 nm width) highly flexuous thread like particles of undefined lengths. MSpV has been reported from tropical regions of the world including India. Its genome consists of five segments of either negative or ambisense ssRNA with a total estimated size of about 18 kb. Maize chlorotic stripe virus, Maize hoja blanca virus, Sorghum chlorosis virus are few strains.

Major Diseases

Yellow stripe disease

Geographical Distribution

Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu.

Particle Morphology

Virus particles were filamentous, <10 nm in width.

Transmission Method

Transmitted by a vector delphacid plant hopper Peregrinus maidis in a persistent manner; not transmitted by mechanical inoculation; not transmitted by seed.

Detection

ELISA and RT-PCR

Host Range and Symptomatology ShowHide

Host	Symptoms
Zea mays (maize)	Stunting, chlorotic leaf striping and apical bending.
Sorghum bicolor (Sorghum)	Chlorotic stripe and bands on leaves and affected plants were dwarfed and produced poor panicles with few grains.
