Cymbidium mosaic virus (CymMV) is a plant pathogenic virus of the family Alphaflexiviridae.
Cymbidium mosaic virus and the Odontoglossum ringspot virus (ORSV) are two of the most common viruses affecting cultivated orchids worldwide. Infected plants can have less desirable flowers or other problems, causing significant financial losses to orchid growers. The virus has not often been reported in wild orchid populations.[2] It can be found in a wide variety of orchid genera[3] but does not infect plants other than orchids.[2]
Once an orchid is infected, the virus spreads throughout the infected plant in a number of weeks.[4] Control measures may include sanitizing pruning equipment between plants.[4] There is an ELISA test available to test for presence of the virus.[2]
It is related to the Narcissus mosaic virus (NMV), the Scallion virus X (SVX), the Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV) and the Potato aucuba mosaic virus (PAMV).[2]
