The wheat curl mite (Aceria tosichella,K.), is the only known vector for Wheat streak mosaic virus. When symptoms are present, confirm the causal agent with laboratory diagnoses. Symptoms of this disease may be similar to other viral diseases or inconspicuous under unfavorable climatic conditions or plant physiological stress, requiring thorough laboratory analysis. Latency resulting in asymptotic plants, though documented (WSMV00-4), is not common. Expression may vary with climatic conditions, plant genetics, physiological stress, and plant pathogen strain. Literature showing that random sampling of apparently healthy plants to detect latent populations of this pathogen has not been found.
Primarily a virus of wheat. Other grasses and grains, such as oats, rye, barley, and millet may act as reservoirs for the virus. Not common in maize, though it has been reported in some cultivars.

Though seed transmission is speculated, there are no reports of this pathogen being recovered from seed. Circumstantial evidence indicates possible seed infection by the pathogen. Conclusive proof of seed transmission is lacking because no control of infection from inoculum sources in the field was evident in the experimental design in these dated studies. Additionally, all references indicating seed as a possible pathway are published before 1960.

This pathogen is most likely the same as Pseudomonas syringae pv. coronafaciens. (PSDMST-2). There is no reports that seed is a pathway for this strain or pv. coronafaciens (ASTA PeDS). See coronafaciens for information pertaining to oat and barley. There is no evidence that seed is a pathway for this pathogen.
