Detection and partial characterization of a carlavirus causing stem necrosis of soybean in Brazil.

Stunting and stem necrosis were noticed in soybeans (Glycine max) grown in 2000/2001 in West Central Brazil the same condition was also observed in the following year in plantations as far as 2,000 km from the initial area. Based on transmission (mechanical, graft, insect vector), purification and serology, electron microscopy and molecular studies the causal agent was determined to be a whitefly-borne carlavirus which is possibly related to Cowpea mild mottle virus (CpMMV). Additional keywords: Cowpea mild mottle virus, whitefly, Bemisia tabaci biotype B.
