<p><em>Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) symptoms are found in </em>Catharanthus roseus, patchouly (Pogostemon cablin), cubeb (Piper chaba), Jasminum sambac and Java-tea (Orthosiphon aristatus); however, their genetic characterization has not been studied.<em> The study aimed to molecularly characterize the CMV isolates from </em>Catharanthus roseus, patchouly, cubeb, Jasminum sambac and Java-tea.<em> </em><em>Disease plant samples showing mosaic and yellow mosaic symptom</em>s<em> were collected from Petak Pamer Garden, ISMCRI, Bogor. Molecular characterization was carried out by reverse transcription</em>-<em>polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay using a specific primer of CMV coat protein gene and DNA sequenced. Sequence analysis was performed using the BLAST, Bioedit, Genedoc, Mega 5 programs. The RT-PCR technique succeeded in amplifying a DNA band measuring 650 bp, according to the prediction of the primary design.  BLAST analyses revealed that all of these CMV isolates belonged to subgroup IB. Nucleotide sequence homology of CMV from </em>C. roseus,<em> </em>patchouly, P. chaba, <em>and</em> J. sambac, <em>were more than 95.00%. Based on </em>the <em>phylogenetic tree, these four isolates were closely related to CMV isolate from Japan (AB070622). Homology of </em>the <em>nucleotide sequence of CMV from </em>Java-tea<em> </em><em>with </em>the <em>other four isolates w</em>as<em> below 95.00%. This isolate clustered with CMV isolate from Indonesia </em>(<em>AB042294</em>) <em>and</em> <em>was</em> <em>separated with another four isolates according to </em>the <em>phylogeny tree. In the amino acid sequence alignment, </em>Java-tea <em>isolates had five different amino acids compared to the other four isolates. This result indicates the poss</em>i<em>bility of CMV transmission between patchouly</em>, Java-tea, C. roseus <em>and</em><em> </em>J. sambac, <em>so it must be anticipated to prevent its spread. </em></p>

El <em>Cucumber mosaic virus</em> (CMV) ocasiona una de las enfermedades virales más importantes a nivel mundial en plantas silvestres y cultivadas. En México son pocos los estudios que se han abordado con este virus, y dada su amplia gama de hospedantes e impacto económico, es necesario contar con mayor información de su presencia y distribución en zonas de importancia agrícola como las del estado de Colima. En este trabajo, se reportan nuevos aislamientos del CMV identificados por RT-PCR, secuenciación de DNA y su análisis filogenético: CMV-Vin en vinca (<em>Catharanthus roseus</em>), CMV-Chi en chile jalapeño (<em>Capsicum annuum</em>) y CMV-Tom en tomate saladette (<em>Solanum lycopersicum</em>). Se confirmó, además, la presencia del CMV en melón cantaloupe (<em>Cucumis melo</em>) (CMV-Mel). Los aislamientos CMV-Vin, CMV-Chi y CMV-Mel agruparon en el subgrupo IB, mientras que CMV-Tom agrupó en el subgrupo IA de CMV. De estos aislamientos, sólo CMV-Vin evidenció la presencia de un RNA satélite (satRNA Vin) sin dominio necrogénico. Este es el primer reporte de la presencia del CMV en vinca, chile y tomate y de un RNA satélite en vinca en Colima, México.

Catharanthus roseus, commonly known as Madagascar rosy periwinkle (also called vinca), is a tropical perennial herb of the family Apocyanaceae. Periwinkle is a bedding plant widely used in Korea because of its drought tolerance, low maintenance, and varied flower colors. In May 2013, virus-like foliar symptoms, including a mosaic with malformation of leaves, were observed on a periwinkle plant in a greenhouse located in Chonbuk Province, Korea. Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) was identified in the symptomatic plant by serological testing for the presence of CMV coat protein (CP) with an immune-strip kit developed by our laboratory. The presence of CMV was confirmed by serological detection with a commercially available double-antibody sandwich (DAS)-ELISA kit (Agdia, Elkhart, IN). Sap from the serologically positive sample was mechanically inoculated to test plants using 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.0). The virus (named CMV-Vin) caused necrotic local lesions on Chenopodium amaranticolor at 5 days-post-inoculation (dpi), while mild to severe mosaic was observed in Capsicum annuum, Cucumis sativus, Cucurbita pepo ‘Cheonggobong,’ Nicotiana glutinosa, N. tabacum‘Samsun NN,’ Physalis angulate, and Solanum lycopersicum ‘Pink-Top’ 10 to 14 dpi. Examination of the inoculated plant leaves by DAS-ELISA and electron microscopy (leaf dips) showed positive reactions to CMV and the presence of spherical virions ~28 nm in diameter, respectively. To verify whether CMV was the causal agent for the disease symptoms observed in naturally infected periwinkle, virus-free periwinkle (10 plants) was mechanically inoculated by sap from local lesions on C. amaranticolor inoculated with CMV-Vin. At 6 weeks after inoculation, all plants produced systemic mosaic and distortion of leaves, resulting in strong DAS-ELISA reactions for CMV, whereas mock-inoculated periwinkle plants remained symptomless and virus-free. The presence of CMV-Vin in all naturally infected and mechanically inoculated plants was further verified by reverse transcription (RT)-PCR. Total RNAs were extracted with a RNeasy Plant Mini Kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA) and RT-PCR was carried out with the One-Step RT-PCR Kit (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) using a pair of primers, CMVCPFor and CMVCPRev (1), which amplified the entire CP gene. RT-PCR products (657 bp) were obtained from all naturally infected and mechanically inoculated plants as well as from a positive control (viral RNAs from virions), but not from healthy tissues. The amplified RT-PCR products were directly sequenced using BigDye Termination kit (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA). Multiple alignment of the CMV-Vin CP sequence (Accession No. AB910598) with CP sequences of other CMV isolates using MEGA5 software revealed that 91.8 to 99.0% and 71.0 to 73.0% identities to those of CMV subgroup I and subgroup II, respectively. These results provide additional confirmation of CMV-Vin infection. Being perennial, periwinkle plants could serve as a reservoir for CMV to infect other ornamentals and cultivated crops (2). To our knowledge, this is the first report of CMV infection on periwinkle in Korea. References: (1) S. K. Choi et al. Virus Res. 158:271, 2011. (2) P. Palukaitis et al. Adv. Virus.

The most common method for SARS-CoV-2 testing is throat or nasal swabbing by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay. In South Korea, drive-through swab test is used for screening system and community treatment centers (CTCs), which admit and treat confirmed COVID-19 patients with mild symptoms, are being used. This retrospective study was conducted on patients admitted to a CTC on March 6, 2020. A total of 313 patients were admitted. The nasal and throat swabs were collected from the upper respiratory tract, and a sputum test was performed to obtain lower respiratory samples. The positive rate of the first set of test, sputum test was higher than that of the swab test ( p = 0.011). In the second set of test, 1 week after the first ones, the rate of positive swab tests was relatively high ( p = 0.026). In the first set of test, 66 of 152 (43.4%) patients showed 24-h consecutive negative swab test results, when the sputum test results were considered together, that number fell to 29 patients (19.1%) ( p < 0.001). Also, in the second set of test, 63 of 164 (38.4%) patients met the discharge criteria only when the swab test was considered; that number fell to 30 (18.3%) when the sputum test results were also considered ( p < 0.001). Using the swab test alone is insufficient for screening test and discharge decision. Patients who may have positive result in the sputum test can be missed.
