Cilevirus leprosis
Assigned virus:
• citrus leprosis virus C (CiLV-C)
CiLV-C is the main cause of the important citrus leprosis disease which is found in South and Central America. The disease causes serious yield losses in some areas of South America. Citrus leprosis has been also a serious problem in the citrus orchards of Florida, but has not been reported from there since the 1960s.
The virus is transmitted by mites of the genus Brevipalpus, mainly by the false spider mite, Brevipalpus phoenicis and appears to replicate in the mite. The virus particles are bacilliform and are found in the cytoplasma, as indicated by the "C" in the name.
