The virus is widely distributed and infects Capsicum crops. The symptoms include mild yellowing of the leaves, stunting, small malformed fruits which are mottled. Yield losses can be severe.
The particles are rod-shaped, about 312 x 18 nm in size, and stable, surviving in crop debris, soil and seeds. Transmission through seeds has been reported to range around 20 and 30%.
