Description
editCharacterised by Brunt in 1976, it is found in Western Europe in Narcissus, Nerine and bulbous irises. It is often accompanied by other plant viruses, and is transmitted by aphids. It produces light and dark green mottling near the leaf tips.[1][3]
Taxonomy
editThis Macluravirus should not be confused with the similarly named Narcissus common latent virus which is a Carlavirus, and is sometimes incorrectly referred to by the name Narcissus latent virus.[citation needed]
