DIAGNOSTYKA

The two pathogens we detect most frequently in African Violets and other gesneriads are Impatiens necrotic spot virus and Tomato spotted wilt virus. Both are transmitted by thrips and can cause a number of symptoms, which can include ringspots and mottle on leaves and brown rings around the leaf petiole. Other viruses can also cause mottled patterns, as well as symptoms such as distorted leaves.

The two most common orchid viruses, Cymbidium mosaic virus and Odontoglossum ringspot virus, are spread by humans, when propagating plants or cutting flowers. Both viruses are very stable and can survive for a long time on hands, cutting tools and other surfaces. Aphids and thrips can spread other viruses that frequently infect orchids.
