Recife: CNPq: FACEPE: Banco do Nordeste: TWAS, 2010. p. 183.c2010  aAbstract 338  aCitrus leprosis, caused by citrus leprosis virus C (CiLV-C), is transmitted by the false spider mite Brevipalpus phoenicis (Acari: Tenuipalpidae). Leprosis is considered the main viral disease in sweet orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck) groves in Brazil, where approximately US$ 80 million are spent yearly for the chemical control of its vector. The disease is present in several countries of South and Central America, and has reached Mexico. The virus does not invade its hosts systemically, thus the sources of inoculum are of utmost importance for the groves infection. At the moment, there are more than four hundred plant species known to be hosts of B. phoenicis, a polifagous and cosmopolitan mite. Besides Citrus spp., CiLV-C can infect other rutaceous and non rutaceous plants. Some of them are used as windbreaks or hedgerows in orchards and could play a role in the epidemiology of the disease.  aBrevipalpus Phoenicis  aDoença de Planta  aVírus  aCitrus leprosis  aPlant disease1 aFREITAS-ASTUA, J.1 aOLIVEIRA, C.
