MDMV00
Aphid transmitted virus. Part of the Corn leathal necrosis complex
3 Known Hosts
Saccharum officinarum
surgarcane
No
MDMV00-1
No references found indicting that seed is a pathway. Sugarcane is not a common host of the virus.

Transmission rates tend to be very low. Seed transmission of Maize dwarf mosaic virus is well documented in corn.
Yes
ELISA
ELISA is a standard test of the NSHS. CABI, 2017, also describes a grow out test.
ELISA is a standard test of the NSHS.
