Carlavirus latensolani(POTLV0)

Distribution details in Peru

Situation
Current pest situation evaluated by EPPO on the basis of information dated 2022: Absent, unreliable record
Comments
The virus was detected in potato accessions in the native Andean potato cultivar collection maintained by the International Potato Centre, Peru, using PotLV specific nucleic acid probes. Further investigations are needed to better understand the situation of this virus in Peru.

Although PotLV was reported by Suica (2000) and Rosas Díaz (2004) infecting accessions in the native Andean potato cultivar collection, maintained by the International Potato Centre, Peru after testing by ELISA, this latter finding was not confirmed by inoculation to and testing of indicator plants (Rosas Díaz, 2004). Furthermore, it has not been found in Peru, following testing by high through put sequencing of potato leaf, samples taken from throughout the Andean region of Peru (Fuentes et al., 2019) or genebank material (J Kreuze CIP, PE, personal communication, 2022) '
