Variation for pathogenicity among isolates of bean common mosaic virus in Africa

BCMV isolates were collected from crops of Phaseolus vulgaris (bean) and from wild legume species in Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Morocco, Rwanda, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zaire, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Isolates of pathotype VIa from both beans and wild legume species were predominant...

Summary:BCMV isolates were collected from crops of Phaseolus vulgaris (bean) and from wild legume species in Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Morocco, Rwanda, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zaire, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Isolates of pathotype VIa from both beans and wild legume species were predominant in central, eastern and southern Africa. Isolates of pathotypes I, III, IVa, IVb and Va were also found. There was considerable variation for pathogenicity among isolates and several novel pathotypes were identified based on the reactions of a set of differential bean cultivars. (RA)
