A small number of plants in 29 entries became infected with MDMV-A and a small number of plants in 58 entries, with MDMV-B. Twenty-five of 29 entries with susceptibility to MDMV-A were also susceptible to MDMV-B. Susceptibility was not related to area of origin. Seventy-six entries from North America showed similar trends, but two highly susceptible lines were identified. Symptoms consisted of a mild mosaic appearing in 7?10 days. In the highly susceptible lines, mosaic symptoms appeared sooner, were more severe, and were accompanied by mild stunting.} }
