C. aExperimental host range of Citrus leprosis virus C (CiLV-C).h[electronic resource] c2014 aCitrus leprosis (CL), caused by the Citrus leprosis virus C (CiLV-C), is considered to be one of the most destructive plant diseases, especially for sweet orange [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck]. To date, it has been restricted to the American continent. Its presence has been confirmed from Argentina to Mexico (Rodrigues et al., 2003; Bastianel et al., 2010; Izquierdo-Castillo et al., 2011). CL was originally described in Florida, in the USA, in the early 1900s (Fawcett, 1911). However, the disease appears to have disappeared from Florida since the 1960s (Childers et al., 2003). There is evidence that leprosis in Florida was caused by Citrus leprosis virus N (CiLV-N) (Kitajima et al., 2011), a distinct virus, possibly related to the Orchid fleck virus (OFV) (Kondo et al., 2006), which appears to be less aggressive. CiLV-C is transmitted by the tenuipalpid mite Brevipalpus, and B. phoenicis Geijskes is the species most commonly described as the vector (Bastianel et al., 2010). The available evidence suggests that the virus-vector. aCitrus aCitrus leprosis virus C aEpidemiology aBrevipalpus Phoenicis aDoença de planta aFruta cítrica aPlant disease1 aTASSI, A.
