virus
China
Primarily chenopodium weeds, spinach, beet, quinoa
SOMV00
Only seed from some species of the genus Chenopodium have been shown to be a pathway. Of little economic importance in spinach or table beet crops.
3 Known Hosts
Beta vulgaris
table beet, swiss chard
No
SOMV00-7, SOMV00-1
Causes mild mosaic or local lesions. No references found indicating seed is a pathway for this host. Only seed from some species of the genus Chenopodium have been shown to be a pathway
Chenopodium quinoa
quinoa
Yes
SOMV00-3
Transmission rates often high, but symptoms are minor
Yes
Bio-assay, Serology
This test has not been validated or standardized.
SOMV00-1
Spinacia oleracea
spinach
No
SOMV00-2, SOMV00-5, SOMV00-6, SOMV00-7, SOMV00-1
Pathway not proven. References indicating seed may be a pathway used artificially inoculated seed or seed contamination was shown in only one cultivar. There is not enough evidence to determine if seed is a pathway for this virus in this host. Only seed from some species of the genus Chenopodium have been shown to be a pathway
