Abstract

Sri Lankan Cassava Mosaic Virus (SLCMV) causes mosaic disease in cassava in India, Sri Lanka and south east Asian countries. Among the 98 plants species/ cultivars belonging to seven families screened/ tested against the virus, SLCMV was transmitted to 42 species of plants belonging to Solanaceae and 4 species of plants belonging to Euphorbiaceae through whitefly inoculation. The incubation period for symptom appearance varied from 6-49 days depending on the species. Presence or absence of SLCMV in the host was confirmed through PCR.
