Watermelon mosaic virus inside. WMV infects many weeds Capsella bursa-pastoris Senecio vulgaris Lamium amplexicaule that can persist in winter as well as a few winter crops spinach which can be virus reservoirs between two crop cycles Lecoq 1992a. Advances in Virus Research 2012. Watermelon mosaic virus can also be transmitted by physical interactions of a person or tool but the primary means is through Aphids.
Aphids pick up the plant virus and can transmit it to other hosts for up to a few hours after contact. Pesticides dont provide effective control of the virus unless theyre used as a preventative measure. After the virus is found aphids could potentially spread it to new hosts before the pesticides eliminate the aphids.

Diagnosis of the mosaic viruses can not be made with certainty from symptoms alone. Sometimes plants may be infected by more than one type of virus. The most important viruses are cucumber mosaic CMV squash mosaic SqMV watermelon mosaic I WMV-1 watermelon mosaic 2 WMV-2 and zucchini yellow mosaic ZYMV.
With the exception of SqMV which is seedborne in melon and transmitted by beetles the other major viruses are transmitted by several aphid species in a nonpersistent manner. The data confirmed a potential for high incidence of aphid borne viruses in particular Cucumber mosaic virus CMV and Watermelon mosaic virus WMV as well as the non vectored Cymbidium mosaic virus CymMV. CMV had a particularly high prevalence over 30 of the plots and could severely damage up to 50 of the vines before blossom.
Severe outbreaks of CMV were. The nucleotide sequence of Watermelon mosaic virus WMV Potyvirus reveals interspecific recombination between two related potyviruses in the 5 part of the genome. Watermelon mosaic virus tends to cause raised blisterlike areas on leaves and to reduce leaf size severely.
Zucchini yellow mosaic virus typically causes the leave lobes to become long and narrow. Malformations of the fruit can occur with all three of the viruses. COMMENTS ON THE DISEASE.
