Malva vein clearing virus (MVCV)[1] is a species of Potyvirus in the family Potyviridae[2] that was isolated in 1957 from Malva sylvestris in Germany which is transmitted by the aphids Aphis umbrella and Myzus persicae. The insects mechanically inoculate the malvaceous hosts.[1]

Host range

Known hosts of the virus include Malva neglecta, M. nicaensis, M. parviflora, M. rotundifolia, M. sylvestris, Lavatera assurgentiflora, L. cretica, L. trimestris.[1] In addition to the natural hosts, infection can be experimentally induced in some other species of the Malvaceae or mallow family. MVCV causes vein clearing and yellow mosaicism.[1]
