Spread potential: High; especially in the presence of vector, however there is no indication that the vector is currently present or established in Australia. The virus can also spread by the movement of infected planting material. Economic importance: Low in bulbs but important in other horticultural crops, particularly if vectors are present. In some crops, the virus induces severe decline in vigour which result in significant losses in productivity. Quarantine status:. Quarantine pest. The status of this virus in Australia is unclear and the taxonomy of the virus is not well defined. While this virus has been recorded here once on Rheum rhabarbarum in South Australia (EPPO 1992), there is no evidence of establishment or spread. This may be due to the fact that its nematode vector does not appear to be established in Australia. To minimise risk of this disease in Australia it is therefore important to ensure that infected bulbs are not imported with its nematode vector.
