<strong>PLANT</strong> <strong>PROTECTION</strong> 1 – <strong>Pests</strong>, <strong>Diseases</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Weeds</strong><br />

LIST OF SOME<br />

VIRUS & VIRUS-<br />

LIKE DISEASES<br />

(contd)<br />

Over 16 virus<br />

<strong>and</strong> virus-like diseases<br />

can infect<br />

chrysanthemum<br />

worldwide, not all<br />

occur in Australia<br />

Viroids<br />

In practice, it is not always<br />

necessary to know the names<br />

of all the viruses which can<br />

infect a plant, but it is<br />

important to be able<br />

recognize virus symptoms,<br />

know how the viruses are<br />

spread <strong>and</strong> how losses may<br />

be minimized<br />

. VIRUSES AFFECTING CHRYSANTHEMUM<br />

Many annual <strong>and</strong> herbaceous plants may become infected with one to several virus<br />

diseases in the same way that they might be attacked by several insect pests or fungal<br />

diseases. Viruses affecting chrysanthemum include:<br />

Chrysanthemum B<br />

virus<br />

Tomato aspermy<br />

virus<br />

Tomato spotted wilt<br />

virus<br />

Chrysanthemum<br />

chlorotic mottle<br />

viroid<br />

Chrysanthemum<br />

stunt viroid<br />

Chrysanthemum<br />

Chrysanthemum, tree tobacco<br />

Wide host range, ornamentals,<br />

vegetables, weeds<br />

Chrysanthemum<br />

Chrysanthemum<br />

Vegetative propagation, many<br />

species of aphids, not by contact<br />

or seed<br />

Vegetative propagation, by<br />

aphids, not by contact<br />

Vegetative propagation, various<br />

species of thrips<br />

Vegetative propagation, vector<br />

(if there is one) is not known<br />

Vegetative propagation, contact,<br />

(transfer of infected sap from<br />

infected plants contacting<br />

healthy plants), contaminated<br />

knives, staff moving from<br />

diseased plants to healthy plants.<br />

A virus must be<br />

registered before<br />

it can be sold<br />

commercially<br />

in Australia<br />

Viruses can be<br />

genetically<br />

engineered<br />

. BIOLOGICAL CONTROL AGENTS<br />

Gemstar ® (nuclear Corn earworm (Helicoverpa<br />

polyhedrosis virus) armigera), native budworm<br />

(Helicoverpa NPV) (H. punctigera) on various<br />

crops<br />

ViVusMax, VivusGold<br />

(nuclear polyhedrosis<br />

virus) (NPV)<br />

EPVs<br />

(entomopoxyviruses)<br />

Cabbage white<br />

butterfly virus<br />

Corn earworm (Helicoverpa<br />

armigera) on various crops<br />

Locusts, grasshoppers, cane<br />

beetles, caterpillars, cockchafers<br />

Cabbage white butterfly<br />

to increase the Codling moth virus Codling moth<br />

speed at which<br />

they kill infected Lightbrown apple Lightbrown apple moth<br />

insects moth virus<br />

Potato moth virus Potato moth<br />

Bacteriophage Bacterial blight of geranium<br />

(a virus which attacks (Xanthomonas campestris)<br />

bacteria)<br />

. VIRUS DISEASES OF ANIMALS & HUMANS<br />

Foot <strong>and</strong> mouth Mostly cloven-hoofed animals,<br />

disease virus eg cattle, water buffalo, sheep,<br />

goats, pigs, antelope, bison, deer<br />

Many, eg HIV (human<br />

immunodeficiency virus),<br />

influenza, measles<br />

rarely humans<br />
