Summary
Mosaic and chlorotic ringspots associated with a mild crinkling on leaves of Viola hederacea were observed in gardens in southeast France and La Mortola, Italy in 2001 and 2003, respectively. In samples collected from both locations, the presence of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) was suspected on the basis of the symptoms exhibited by a range of inoculated plants and the observation of isometric particles of approximately 30 nm with the electron microscope in sap preparations. This was confirmed by positive reactions with CMV polyclonal antiserum in DAS-ELISA. This is thought to be the first report of CMV in V. hederacea in France and Italy.
