Sixty-eight percent of the `Pineapple', 52% of the `Navel', 46% of the `Valencia', 38% of the `Hamlin', and 0% of the `Ambersweet' orange [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osh.] trees in five Florida citrus nurseries were infected with severe strains of citrus tristeza virus (CTV), as demonstrated by reaction with a monoclinal antibody specific for severe strains of the virus. Severe strains of CTV infected 4%, 46%, 76%, 30%, and 48% of the trees at each of the five nurseries, respectively, indicating a considerable difference in severe strain prevalence among the nurseries. Thirty-five percent of the trees in the scion blocks (budwood source) of the nurseries also contained severe strains of CTV.

None of 4190 sweet orange [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osb.] nursery trees of `Hamlin', `Midsweet', `Navel', and `Valencia' sampled from five Florida citrus nurseries were infected with a decline-inducing isolate of citrus tristeza virus (CTV) as judged by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using isolate-specific monoclonal antibodies. Two of the nurseries had a relatively high level of infection (37% to 100% of composite samples containing tissue from 10 trees) with nondecline-inducing (mild) isolates of CTV, depending on the cultivar. Three of the nurseries had a lower incidence of mild CTV (0% to 22% of 10 tree composite samples). No nursery was CTV-free. ELISA of individual trees used as budwood sources by the nurseries revealed that one tree out of 260 tested contained decline-inducing CTV, and 83 contained mild CTV. These results suggest that the budwood certification program adopted in 1997 has virtually eliminated decline-inducing CTV from commercial budwood supplies.

RESUMO O Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) causa significativas perdas na produtividade de laranja doce [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck] e seu controle tem sido realizado principalmente com a premunização. O trabalho teve como objetivo analisar a variabilidade de isolados fortes e fracos de CTV provenientes de plantas de citros inoculadas e mantidas em casa de vegetação e amostras de campo, coletadas em pomar comercial situado no município de Rolândia, PR. Para a determinação da variabilidade e diversidade genética dos isolados foi realizada avaliação dos sintomas e empregadas as técnicas de RT– PCR e RFLP, utilizando os oligonucleotídeos específicos HCP1/HCP2 e posterior sequenciamento dos fragmentos amplificados. Na avaliação de canelura, os isolados mantidos em casa de vegetação induziram sintomas leves, com exceção do isolado severo Capão Bonito. Os sintomas mais severos ocorreram em amostras situadas no campo. De acordo com as análises multivariadas os isolados de CTV tendem a se agrupar conforme a severidade dos sintomas e condições ambientais as quais foram expostas formando agrupamentos distintos entre amostras provenientes do campo e casa de vegetação. O dendrograma gerado a partir do sequenciamento dos isolados e as análises multivariadas revelaram que o isolado proveniente da amostra “Forte Arapongas” apresentou maior similaridade com o controle padrão forte proveniente de Capão Bonito. Os isolados identificados como fracos e provenientes das amostras Pêra IAC e Rolândia 5 apresentaram maior similaridade. Pode-se aferir que plantas hospedeiras mantidas em campo possuem maior variabilidade de isolados.

This document is one in a series designed to provide important information on the causal agent, symptoms, and transmission of exotic citrus diseases. This information can be used as an educational tool to raise awareness about these diseases and for scouting and identification efforts. Disseminating information about the diseases to the citrus industry may prevent their introduction and spread in Florida. This document will focus on the exotic viral disease caused by isolates of citrus tristeza virus–stem pitting (CTV-SP).

Citrus is susceptible to a large number of diseases caused by plant pathogens. Economic losses due to plant diseases can be severe, but fortunately, not all pathogens attacking citrus are present in Florida. Major citrus diseases currently present in Florida include: Alternaria brown spot, blight, citrus canker, greasy spot, melanose, Phytophthora-induced diseases (foot and root rot, brown rot), postbloom fruit drop (PFD), scab, and tristeza. An exotic, destructive disease called citrus greening (Huanglongbing) has recently been found in Florida. Any exotic diseases, if introduced, will increase production costs and decrease profitability for Florida growers. Exotic diseases affect the viability of the industry or the varieties that could be profitably grown. Background information for each exotic citrus disease will be presented in a series of fact sheets to: 1) provide a basis for evaluating exotic pathogens that may pose potential risks to Florida citrus; and 2) create a decision-making framework to prevent their introduction and spread. This paper will discuss Citrus tristeza virus-Stem Pitting (CTV-SP) disease. This article is written based on the materials used for the Workshops of the Exotic Citrus Pathogen Threat Project led by Drs. S. M. Garnsey and H. W. Browning, and approved for publication.
