virus
Corn and surgarcane are the only crops infected. Sugarcane by the sugarcane strains of Sugrcane mosaic virus and corn by the Maize dwarf mosaic virus strain B (SCMV-MB)
SCMV00
The identification of this virus is often confused with Sorghum mosaic virus. Both Sugarcane mosaic virus and Sorgham mosaic virus cause similar symptoms in surgarcane. Strains of this virus are usually restricted to certain hosts. (DVP WEB). Aphid transmitted and part of the corn lethal necrosis complex.
