Cherry mottle leaf virus (CMLV)
The virus is present in North America and infections are often symptomless. On susceptible varieties it causes the cherry mottle leaf disease (chlorotic mottling, distortion, puckering of younger leaves) and the peach wart disease (hard, wartlike outgrowths on the fruit surface). It spreads by grafting or, more rarely, is transmitted by the bud mite Eriophyes inaequalis. The particles consist of a not enveloped capsid which is filamentous, about 760 nm long and 10 nm wide.
