The virus is widely distributed in sugarcane growing regions, causing yield losses in some cultivars. The symptoms are variable and depend on the susceptibility of the sugarcane cultivar. Severe symptoms include chlorotic mottling, stunting and freckles. Apart from sugarcane, the virus can infect other members of the Poaceae family like rice, sorghum, johnsongrass and ''Panicum''. Trasnmission occurs through mealybugs and infected cuttings. The virus has a circular and double-stranded DNA genome with 7.5 - 8 kilobase pairs.

Sugarcane bacilliform virus (SCBV)

The virus is widely distributed in sugarcane growing regions, causing yield losses in some cultivars. The symptoms are variable and depend on the susceptibility of the sugarcane cultivar. Severe symptoms include chlorotic mottling, stunting and freckles. Apart from sugarcane, the virus can infect other members of the Poaceae family like rice, sorghum, johnsongrass and Panicum. Trasnmission occurs through mealybugs and infected cuttings. The virus has a circular and double-stranded DNA genome with 7.5 - 8 kilobase pairs.
