Primarily potato. Reported in tomato and pepper.
PVY000
PVY is transmitted in a non-persistent manner by more than 50 aphid species. (CABI) PVY is not known to be seed borne in any host, including true potato seed. PVY is best controlled by the production, propagation and distribution of elite virus-free planting stocks, nucleus stocks of which are maintained under stringent conditions to prevent infection.

No evidence that seed is a pathway. Richardson (RICH ISTA) cites one reference where seed implicated as a potential pathway. Most references do not indicate seed is a pathway for any host.

CABICPC
PVY has not been reported in true seed, but transmission can occur readily in potato tubers. Incidence in seed potato tubers can be very high in the absence of certification schemes or with tolerant cultivars.
