Apple mosaic virus (ApMV) is a plant pathogenic virus of the family Bromoviridae. It is named after its symptoms that were first present on apples.[1] ApMV is a positive sense RNA based virus.[1] The disease itself has several synonyms including Mild Apple Mosaic Virus, Hop Virus, Rose Mosaic Virus, and European Plum Line Patten Virus.[2] It causes a severe yield reduction and decreased life-expectancy of fruit trees.
