Fig mosaic emaravirus (FMV) is a segmented, negative sense, single-stranded RNA virus that is determined to be the causal agent of fig mosaic disease (FMD) in fig plants, Ficus carica.[1] It is a member of the genus Emaravirus[2] and order Bunyavirales and is transmitted mainly by the eriophyid mite Aceria ficus.[3] FMV can cause a range of symptoms varying in severity, including leaf chlorosis, deformity, and mosaic or discoloration patterns, as well as premature fruit drop.[4]
