Ιός του μωσαϊκού του πεπίνο (Pepino mosaic virus)
R.A.A. van der Vlugt
Περίληψη Ο ιός του μωσαϊκού του πεπίνο (Pepino mosaic virus, PepMV) είναι ένας νέος σχετικά ιός
που αναδείχθηκε σε σημαντικό αγρονομικό πρόβλημα μέσα σε σύντομο χρονικό διάστημα. Ο ιός εί-
ναι μέλος του γένους Potexvirus της οικογένειας Flexiviridae και μεταδίδεται εύκολα με μηχανικό τρό-
πο. Προσβάλλει την τομάτα (Solanum lycopersicum ) και άλλα σολανώδη. Από την αρχική του περιγρα-
φή το 1980 σε φυτά πεπίνο (Solanummuricatum), που συλλέχθησαν στο Περού το 1974, ο ιός παρέμει-
