Iris yellow spot virus (IYSV; genus Tospovirus, family Bunyaviridae) is established in several European countries (France, Italy, The Netherlands, Poland, Slovenia, Spain, and the UK) and its distribution in the EU region has increased since 2002 (3). In July 2007, symptoms resembling those of IYSV were observed in an onion (Allium cepa) seed crop in the Sirig locality in Serbia. Onion plants exhibited characteristic symptoms of chlorotic or necrotic spindle and diamond-shaped lesions on the leaves and scapes. Symptomatic plants were found throughout the field and disease incidence was estimated at 80%. Leaf and scape samples were tested for the presence of IYSV and two other tospoviruses, Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) and Impatiens necrotic spot virus (INSV), using commercial double-antibody sandwich (DAS)-ELISA diagnostic kits (Loewe Biochemica, Sauerlach, Germany). All samples tested negative for TSWV and INSV. IYSV was detected serologically in 26 of 34 onion samples. To determine an experimental host range, samples of IYSV-infected onion plants were homogenized in chilled 0.05 M phosphate buffer pH 7 containing 1 mM Na-EDTA, 5 mM Na-DIECA, and 5 mM Na-thioglycolate (2), and host plants were inoculated with the sap. Mechanical transmission of the virus occurred rarely. All inoculated test plants were assayed by DAS-ELISA and only four species tested positive for IYSV, but not in all replications. Inoculated Chenopodium quinoa developed local chlorotic lesions, Nicotiana tabacum cvs. Samsun and Prilep showed mild mosaic, while infected N. benthamiana were symptomless. For further confirmation of IYSV, conventional reverse transcription (RT)-PCR was performed on extracts made from symptomatic onion leaf material and from the ELISA-positive symptomless leaves of N. benthamiana. Total RNAs were extracted with an RNeasy Plant Mini Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and RT-PCR was carried out with the OneStep RT PCR Kit (Qiagen) following the manufacturer's instructions. The primer pair, IYSV56U/IYSV917L, covering the entire nucleocapsid (NC) gene was used for both amplification and sequencing (1). A product of the correct predicted size (896 bp) was obtained from each of the plants assayed, and that derived from isolate 605-SRB was purified (QUIAqick PCR Purification Kit, Qiagen) and sequenced (GenBank Accession No. EU586203). BLAST analyses revealed 86 to 97% sequence identity with the NC gene from all other IYSV. The highest identity (97%) was with leek and onion isolates (GenBank Accession Nos. EF427447 and EF19888) from Spain. To our knowledge, this is the first report of IYSV infection of onion seed crop in Serbia. Thorough inspections and subsequent testing would be needed to establish the distribution and incidence of IYSV in Serbia. References: (1) I. Robène-Soustrade et al. Plant Pathol. 55:288, 2006.

Bulb Yield

Iris yellow spot virus (IYSV; family Bunyaviridae, genus Tospovirus) has emerged as a potentially devastating and widespread virus of onion. IYSV was first reported in the United States from Idaho in 1993 and has since spread to many of the onion-producing areas (1). In South America, the most recent reports of the virus on onion were from Peru and Chile (2,4). In 2005, onion plants in Uvalde County, Texas exhibited necrotic lesions on leaves typical of IYSV and disease incidence approached 100% in some fields with yield loss and quality problems. Five of six plants tested were positive for IYSV with double antibody sandwich-enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA; Agdia Inc., Elkhart, IN). In 2006, similar lesions were observed on onion plants in Uvalde County and approximately 400 km south in Hidalgo and Cameron counties. Infection points generally started as a single plant near the edge of fields and spread to plants in a 3- to 4-m area after 1 to 2 weeks. Early-season disease incidence was low in onions grown for bulbs and transplants, <10% in 2006. Disease incidence increased in some fields until the crop was harvested. Leaves of symptomatic plants were tested for IYSV and Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) using DAS-ELISA, and 18 of 23 samples from the Hidalgo County area and 12 of 21 samples from the Uvalde County area were positive for IYSV. All samples tested for TSWV from these counties were negative. Virus infection in some ELISA-positive plants was verified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) using primers derived from the small RNA of IYSV. The primers flanked the IYSV nucleocapsid (N) gene (5′-TAA AAC AAA CAT TCA AAC AA-3′ and 5′-CTC TTA AAC ACA TTT AAC AAG CAC-3′ (3). RT-PCR gave a PCR product of expected size (approximately 1.2 kb). The DNA amplicon was cloned and sequenced (GenBank Accession No. DQ658242). Nucleotide sequence analysis confirmed the identity of the amplicon as that of IYSV N gene and sequence comparisons with known IYSV N gene sequences showed 95 to 98% sequence identity. The primary vector of IYSV, onion thrips (Thrips tabaci), is a widespread and destructive pest of onion in south Texas. The year-to-year incidence of IYSV and the severity of the disease will probably depend on the onion thrips population levels. Bulb yield reduction could be severe during years with high thrips populations. More research is needed to determine the impact of IYSV on bulb yield in Texas, the relationship between IYSV incidence and T. tabaci population levels, and oversummering hosts. To our knowledge, this is the first known report of IYSV in Texas. References: (1) D. H. Gent et al. Plant Dis. 88:446, 2004, (2) S. W. Mullis et al. Plant Dis. 90:377, 2006, (3) H. Pappu et al.

Iris yellow spot virus (IYSV; family Bunyaviridae, genus Tospovirus) transmitted by thrips (Thrips tabaci Lindeman) is an economically important viral pathogen of bulb and seed onion (Allium cepa) crops in many onion-growing areas of the world (2,3). In Africa, IYSV has been reported in Reunion (4) and South Africa (1). In June 2008, diamond-shaped lesions that are typical of IYSV were observed on onion seed scapes in an onion plot of 0.25 ha at Reduit in the central part of Mauritius. Disease incidence was 80% with a severity of 50 to 75% of the scape surface area. Lodging was observed in 25% of the symptomatic plants. Twenty-two symptomatic plants were tested and found to be positive for IYSV when tested by double antibody sandwich (DAS)-ELISA with a commercially available kit (Agdia Inc., Elkhart, IN). The presence of the virus was confirmed by reverse transcription (RT)-PCR tests with primers 917L: 5′-TAAAACTTAACTAACACAAA-3′ and 56U: 5′-TCCTAAGTATTCACCAT-3′ as forward and reverse primers, respectively, for specific sequences flanking the CP gene. Another set of primers specific to the small (S) RNA of IYSV (5′-TAAAACAAACATTCAAACAA-3′ and 5′-CTCTTAAACACATTT AACAAGCAC-3′) produced an amplicon of approximately 1.2 kb that includes the 772-bp nucleocapsid (N) gene. The 1.2-kb amplicon was cloned and four clones were sequenced and consensus sequence was used for comparisons. Sequence analysis showed that the N gene of the IYSV isolate from Mauritius (GenBank Accession No. HM218822) shared the highest nucleotide sequence identity (99%) with several known IYSV N gene sequences (Accession Nos. FJ785835 and AM900393) available in the GenBank, confirming the presence of IYSV in the onion crops in Mauritius. A survey was subsequently carried out from July to November 2008 in major onion-growing localities at La Marie, Henrietta, Reduit, and Plaine Sophie (center); Bassin, La Ferme, and La Chaumiere (west); Grand Sable, Petit Sable, and Plaisance (south, southeast); and Belle Mare, Trou d'Eau Douce, and Palmar (east) to monitor the distribution of the disease on the island. Symptomatic samples with diamond-to-irregularly shaped lesions were observed and 155 symptomatic and 35 nonsymptomatic samples were collected and screened by DAS-ELISA for IYSV and Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), another tospovirus reported to infect onion elsewhere. Sixty-six percent of the symptomatic samples screened (102 of 155) tested positive for IYSV. No IYSV was detected in the symptomless samples. There was no serological indication of TSWV infection in the samples. Samples that tested positive for IYSV were collected from Belle mare, Palmar, and Trou d'eau douce in the east and La Ferme in the west. Cultivars infected were Gandiole, Local Red, and Veronique. No IYSV was detected in the bulbs. The vector, T. tabaci, was observed in infected onion parcels surveyed and is known to occur in all onion-producing areas of the island. To our knowledge, this is the first report of IYSV in onion in Mauritius. Further surveys and monitoring of IYSV incidence, along with its impact on the yield, need to be established.

The Tospovirus Iris yellow spot virus (IYSV), transmitted by thrips (predominantly Thrips tabaci), was first recorded in New Zealand in 2007. In March 2015, symptoms of the virus were relatively widespread in an organically managed onion crop in Canterbury. Onion plants were sampled for the presence of T. tabaci adults and larvae and for IYSV symptoms on an organically managed farm in Canterbury in 2014-2015, 2015-16 and 2016-17, and on a similar farm in Hawke's Bay in 2014-2015 and 2015-16. An immunoassay was used to confirm the presence of IYSV in some symptomatic plants. In Canterbury, IYSV symptoms were less apparent in 2015-16 and no symptoms were observed in 2016-17. No IYSV symptoms were observed in the Hawke's Bay onion crop, despite relatively high T. tabaci numbers. The virus symptoms declined from when they were first observed in March 2015 to undetectable levels in 2016-17 in Canterbury, which may be attributed to crop location, fewer thrips and the absence of a disease reservoir in volunteer Allium cepa plants or other hosts.

Vidalia onion is an important crop in Georgia's agriculture with worldwide recognition as a specialty vegetable. Vidalia onions are shortday, Granex-type sweet onions grown within a specific area of southeastern Georgia. Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) has been endemic to Georgia crops for the past decade, but has gone undetected in Vidalia onions. Tobacco thrips (Frankliniella fusca) and Western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis) are the primary vectors for TSWV in this region, and a number of plant species serve as reproductive reservoirs for the vector or virus. Iris yellow spot virus (IYSV), an emerging tospovirus that is potentially a devastating pathogen of onion, has been reported in many locations in the western United States (2,4). Thrips tabaci is the known vector for IYSV, but it is unknown if noncrop plants play a role in its epidemiology in Georgia. During October 2003, a small (n = 12) sampling of onions with chlorosis and dieback of unknown etiology from the Vidalia region was screened for a variety of viruses, and TSWV and IYSV infections were serologically detected. Since that time, leaf and bulb tissues from 4,424 onion samples were screened for TSWV and IYSV using double antibody sandwich-enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA) with commercial kits (Agdia Inc., Elkhart, IN). Samples were collected from 53 locations in the Vidalia region during the growing season between November 2003 and March 2004. Plants exhibiting stress, such as tip dieback, necrotic lesions, chlorosis or environmental damage were selected. Of these, 306 were positive for TSWV and 396 were positive for IYSV using positive threshold absorbance of three times the average plus two standard deviations of healthy negative onion controls. Positive serological findings of the onion tissues were verified by immunocapture-reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (IC-RT-PCR) for TSWV (3) and RT-PCR for IYSV (1). In both instances, a region of the viral nucleocapsid (N) gene was amplified. The PCR products were analyzed with gel electrophoresis with an ethidium bromide stain in 0.8% agarose. Eighty-six percent (n = 263) of the TSWV ELISA-positive samples exhibited the expected 774-bp product and 55 percent (n = 217) of the IYSV ELISA-positive samples exhibited the expected 962-bp product. The reduced success of the IYSV verification could be attributed to the age and deteriorated condition of the samples at the time of amplification. Thrips tabaci were obtained from onion seedbeds and cull piles within the early sampling (n = 84) and screened for TSWV by the use of an indirect-ELISA to the nonstructural (NSs) protein of TSWV. Of the thrips sampled, 25 were positive in ELISA. While the incidence of IYSV and TSWV in the Vidalia onion crop has been documented, more research is needed to illuminate their potential danger to Vidalia onions. References: (1) I. Cortês et al.

Iris yellow spot virus (IYSV; genus Tospovirus, family Bunyaviridae) is an emerging and serious pathogen affecting several Allium spp. worldwide (2). The virus causes straw-colored, chlorotic or necrotic lesions that coalesce, occasionally resulting in an extensive necrosis on onion (A. cepa L.) leaves. From February to June 2008, 530 onion and 439 leek (A. porum L.) leaf samples showing a variety of lesions were collected from different areas of Greece. All plants sampled were infested with Thrips tabaci Lindeman, the sole thrips species identified as the vector of this virus. Samples were analyzed by double-antibody sandwich (DAS)-ELISA using polyclonal antibodies against the N protein of IYSV (Laboratory of Virology, Wageningen Agricultural University). A higher percentage of onion samples than leek samples were infected, with IYSV detected in 36, 44, 23.7, 61.7, 10, 55, 15.3, and 9.4% of onion samples from the prefectures of Evros, Heraklion, Kavala, Magnissia, Pella, Rodopi, Thessaloniki, and Viotia, respectively, and in 5, 0, 0, 9.3, and 13% of leek samples from Evros, Heraklion, Magnissia, Pella, and Thessaloniki, respectively. No leek samples were tested from Kavala, Rodopi, and Viotia. Sap extracts from some positive samples were mechanically inoculated onto Nicotiana benthamiana leaves, and infected plants developed typical IYSV symptoms and were positive in DAS-ELISA, confirming transmission from the field samples. Viral RNA was extracted from ELISA-positive onion and leek samples and an ~800-bp amplicon was obtained from both hosts by reverse-transcription (RT)-PCR and N-gene primers derived from IYSV (IY1: 5′-CCCGAGGATCCATGGCTACCGTTAGGG-3′ and IY2: 5′-CCCGAGGATCCAAATTAATTATATCTATCTTTCTTGG-3′) (1). These amplicons were cloned and sequenced (GenBank Accession No. FJ785835) and nucleotide sequence comparisons showed a 98 to 99% identity with a Dutch isolate of IYSV (GenBank Accession No AF001387). The virus was transmitted among onion seedlings in the laboratory using a leek population of T. tabaci. Infected seedlings, as determined by DAS-ELISA, developed symptoms similar to those observed in the field samples. To our knowledge, this is the first report of IYSV in Greece; however, the virus seems already to be very well established. References: (1) I. Cortez et al. Phytopathology 88:1276, 1998. (2) D.

Onions have become an important export crop for Peru during the last few years. The onions produced for export are primarily short-day onions and include Grano- or Granex-type sweet onions. The first of two growing seasons for onion in Peru occurs from February/March until September/October and the second occurs from September/October to December/January. Iris yellow spot virus (IYSV [family Bunyaviridae, genus Tospovirus]), primarily transmitted by onion thrips (Thrips tabaci), has been reported in many countries during recent years, including the United States (1,2). In South America, the virus was reported in Brazil during 1999 (3) and most recently in Chile during 2005 (4). During 2003, an investigation of necrotic lesions and dieback in onions grown near the towns of Supe and Ica, Peru led to the discovery of IYSV in this region. Of 25 samples of symptomatic plants collected from five different fields near Supe, 19 tested strongly positive and an additional three tested weakly positive for IYSV using double antibody sandwich-enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA) (Agdia Inc., Elkhart, IN). None of the samples tested positive for Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV). A number of onions with necrosis and dieback symptoms were also observed during 2004 and 2005. During September 2005, 25 plants with symptoms suspected to be caused by IYSV or TSWV in the Supe and Casma valleys were collected and screened for both viruses using DAS-ELISA. All plants screened were positive for IYSV. There was no serological indication of TSWV infection in these samples. The positive samples were blotted onto FTA cards (Whatman Inc., U.K.) to bind the viral RNA for preservation and processed according to the manufacturer's protocols. The presence of IYSV was verified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RTPCR) using (5′-TCAGAAATCGAGAAACTT-3′) and (5′-TAATTATATCTATCTTTCTTGG-3′) as forward and reverse primers (1), respectively. The primers amplify the nucleocapsid (N) gene of IYSV, and the RT-PCR products from this reaction were analyzed with gel electrophoresis with an ethidium bromide stain in 0.8% agarose to verify the presence of this amplicon in the samples. Subsequent to the September 2005 sampling, 72 additional samples from regions in northern and southern Peru were analyzed in the same manner. The amplicons obtained were cloned, sequenced, and compared with known IYSV isolates for further verification. Onions have become a significant export crop for Peru, and more research is needed to determine the impact of IYSV on the Peruvian onion export crop. To our knowledge, this is the first report of IYSV in onion in Peru. References: (1) L. du Toit et al. Plant Dis. 88:222, 2004. (2) S. W. Mullis et al. Plant Dis. 88:1285, 2004. (3) L. Pozzer et al.

El virus de la mancha amarilla del iris (IYSV) es la enfermedad viral de mayor importancia para los cultivos de ajo y cebolla en Zacatecas, México. A finales de mayo de 2010 se encontraron lesiones amarillentas en forma de diamante en hojas y tallo floral de plantas de cebolla en parcelas comerciales, localizados en los municipios de Loreto, Villa de Cos, Sain Alto, Villanueva, Calera de V. R. y Enrique Estrada pertenecientes al estado de Zacatecas. La prueba DAS-ELISA mostró resultados positivos para este virus en las muestras procedentes de diferentes municipios. Thrips tabaci el único vector conocido del IYSV se encontró en las parcelas comerciales muestreadas, aunque la presencia de Frankliniella occidentalis también fue reconocida en una parcela comercial de cebolla, cuyas muestras resultaron positivas a IYSV. No se encontró diferencia entre la altura, número de hojas, peso y diámetro de bulbo de plantas sin lesiones y aquellas con diferente número de lesiones de IYSV.
