Cowpea aphid-borne mosaic virus (CABMV) is a potyvirus that causes the most serious virus disease of passion fruit crops in Brazil. It is transmitted by several species of aphids in a non-persistent, non-circulative manner. The reaction of 16 species of Passiflora to infection by mechanical inoculation with four Brazilian isolates of CABMV was evaluated under greenhouse conditions. Only P. suberosa, a wild species, was resistant to infection by all virus isolates, in two independent assays. P. suberosa grafted onto infected P. edulis f. flavicarpa did not develop symptoms; neither was the virus detected by RT-PCR in the upper leaves, suggesting that this species is immune to CABMV.

Abstract The passion fruit woodiness disease (Cowpea aphid-borne mosaic virus – CABMV) causes socioeconomic problems for Brazilian passion fruit crop. Understanding the temporal progress of the disease and identifying resistance sources to CABMV are essential steps to develop resistant varieties. The objective of the study was to evaluate temporal progress of passion fruit woodiness disease, identify Passiflora genotypes with CABMV resistance and to detect virus infection in asymptomatic plants by qPCR. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse using 128 genotypes belonging to 12 species and three hybrids (inter and intraspecific) of Passiflora evaluated in five periods after inoculation. The symptoms severity was quantified from the disease index (DI%). The CABMV infection in symptomatic plants was confirmed by RT-PCR and in asymptomatic plants by qPCR. Progress rates and disease severity were lower in the species P. cincinnata, P. gibertii, P. miersii e P. mucronata compared to P. edulis, P. alata, Passiflora sp. and hybrids. Of the evaluated genotypes, 20.31% were resistant, with emphasis on the accessions of P. suberosa, P. malacophylla, P. setacea, P. pohlii e P. bahiensis that did not show symptoms of virus. The absence of symptoms does not imply immunity of plants to the virus, as the qPCR analysis confirmed infection by the virus in asymptomatic plants of P. cincinnata, P. gibertii, P. miersii, P. mucronata, P. setacea, P. malacophylla e P. suberosa. Even after four inoculations, the virus was not detected by qPCR in the upper leaves in plants of P. pohlii and P. bahiensis indicating that these species are immune to CABMV.

In East Africa, passion fruit woodiness disease is caused by potyviruses, among which are Cowpea Aphid-Borne Mosaic Virus (CABMV) and Uganda Passiflora Virus (UPV). Previous studies suggest that synergistic interaction of viruses causes mild or severe outcomes of the disease. However, mixed infections of these viruses have not been documented. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of the interaction between two CABMV isolates causing passion fruit woodiness disease in Kenya. Healthy plants were mechanically inoculated at six-leaf stage. Four treatments were used: CABMV isolate 1, CABMV isolate 2, mixture of the two isolates, and noninoculated control. The test plants were maintained in a screen house, and data on symptom severity and rate of disease development were recorded. ELISA test was conducted to confirm virus presence and distribution. The results indicate that the CABMV isolates used are systemic. There were various differences in disease progression, which was faster in the sweet passion variety than in the purple variety. However, the latter had a higher disease severity. Coinfected plants expressed severe symptoms compared to the singly infected ones, indicating synergistic interaction between the viral isolates. This implies that coinfection has adverse impact resulting in higher economic losses.

Analysis of transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) data revealed a complete Cowpea aphid-borne mosaic virus (CABMV) genome from virus-infected passion fruit in Kenya. We compared it with six complete CABMV genomes, one each from Zimbabwe and Uganda and two each from Brazil and India.

Surveys of peanut crops in northeastern Brazil since 1995 showed the occurrence of a hitherto unreported virus disease. Characteristic leaf symptoms were ring spots and blotches. The virus was seed transmitted in peanut (1/610) and cowpea (47/796). Local and systemic symptoms were observed in cowpea (cv. TVu 3433) known to be susceptible to most Cowpea aphid-borne mosaic virus (CABMV) isolates. The virus was transmitted by aphids Toxoptera citricidus and Aphis gossypii. Using degenerate primers, the 3′ terminal region of the viral genome was cloned and sequenced. Sequence analyses of the coat protein and the 3′ untranslated region indicated that the potyvirus was most closely related to CABMV isolates from South Africa, Zimbabwe, and the United States. On the basis of genome analysis, the virus was identified as CABMV. The natural occurrence of CABMV on peanut has so far not been reported. The significance of this finding especially for germ plasm exchange is discussed.
