“…Taro viruses, which could lead to diseases, damage the crop yield and sometimes lead to plant death [17]. Multiple viruses have been found to infect taro, including the four main viruses; Dasheen mosaic virus (DsMV) , Taro bacilliform virus (TaBV) , Colocasia bobone disease virus (CBDV) , and Taro vein chlorosis virus (TaVCV) [5,6,8,9,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26] that this review will centre on. This review will also mention a relatively new virus Taro bacilliform CH virus (TaBCHV) [17,19,27].…”

Taro is an important crop in parts of the world, especially in the Pacific Islands. Like all plants, it is also susceptible to virus infections that could result in diseases, which negatively affects the source of food and trade revenue. Understanding the biology of taro viruses could improve current knowledge regarding the relationship between viruses and taro, thus allowing for a better approach towards the management of the diseases that are associated with them. By compiling and discussing the research on taro and its four major viruses (Dasheen mosaic virus, Taro bacilliform virus, Colocasia bobone disease virus, and Taro vein chlorosis virus) and a relatively new one (Taro bacilliform CH virus), this paper explores the details of each virus by examining their characteristics and highlighting information that could be used to mitigate taro infections and disease management.

Peanut bud necrosis virus (PBNV), genus Tospovirus (family Bunyaviridae), is an important virus infecting peanut and other crops in South India. PBNV isolates naturally infecting groundnut, brinjal, tomato, black gram, field bean, cowpea, cotton, jute, taro and Calotropis plants were collected from different regions of South India and characterized. Infection was confirmed by direct antigen‐coating enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (DAC‐ELISA) using PBNV‐specific antiserum. The coat protein gene was further amplified using PBNV coat protein‐specific primers. The amplicon (830 bp) was cloned and sequenced; sequence analysis revealed that the N gene shared 93–100% and 95–100% sequence identity with PBNV at the nucleotide and amino acid levels, respectively.

“…In India, GBNV has been reported in states like Karnataka (Sastry, 1982), Tamil Nadu (Doraiswamy et al, 1984), Andhra Pradesh (Prasad Rao et al, 1980) and Maharashtra (Joi and Summanvar, 1986). GBNV is a major limiting factor in crop production in India and in addition to tomato it infects in groundnut (Ghanekar et al, 1979), peas (Prasad Rao et al, 1985), blackgram and greengram (Amin et al, 1985), soybean (Bhat et al, 2002), cowpea, brinjal, chilli (Prasad Rao et al, 1987, cluster bean (Krishna Reddy and Verma, 1990), potato (Khurana et al, 1989), ridge gourd (Mandal et al, 2003), cucumber (Jain et al, 2007), jute (Sivaprasad et al, 2011), taro (Sivaprasad et al, 2011), onion (Sujitha et al, 2012), bitter gourd (Nagendran et al, 2018) and rajmash or french bean (Akram et al, 2013). Raja and Jain (2006) observed symptomatic plants of tomato were characterized by severe necrosis of buds, petiole and leaves with chlorotic rings.…”
