“…These particles form aggregates in the form of sheets or bundles and often brush-like inclusions (Brunt et al, 1983;Almeida et al, 2003Almeida et al, , 2005. CPMMV is transmitted in a nonpersistent manner by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Munyappa & Reddy, 1983;Jeyanandarajah & Brunt, 1993;Naidu et al, 1998;Almeida et al, 2005;Marubayashi et al, 2010;Brito et al, 2012). Seed transmission appears to be dependent on the viral isolate: for a Ghana isolate of CPMMV, seed transmission occurred in soybean, cowpea and with lower frequency in common bean (Brunt & Kenten, 1973); in Venezuela it was demonstrated that CPMMV can be transmitted by yardlong bean seeds (Brito et al, 2012), but Almeida et al (2005) reported that a Brazilian CPMMV isolate was not transmitted by soybean seeds.…”
