Description
Pepino mosaic virus infected leaf. Close-up of the upper surface of a tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) leaf infected with pepino mosaic virus (PepMV). PepMV is a highly contagious agricultural pest causing significant destruction of plants in tomato production. Symptoms consist of distorted leaf development, mosaic, bubbling of the leaf surface and some chlorosis (loss of chlorophyll). The yellow mosaic discolouration (yellowed patches) shown on the leaf is the most noticeable symptom of the virus in tomato plants. For an image of a healthy leaf see: C001/5942.
