Citrus leprosis disease and its quarantine significance

柑橘麻风病在南美洲和中美洲危害严重,引起该病的病毒有6种,分属3个病毒属,其共同特征是局部危害产生的症状相似,并且都由短须螨属螨传播。世界上多个国家和地区将其列入检疫性有害生物。我国尚无该病毒危害柑橘的报道,但其对国内柑橘生产的潜在威胁依然存在。本文综述了该病的历史、病原物特性、传播途径及检疫重要性。

Citrus leprosis(CL) is one of the most serious diseases of citrus in South and Central America. CL is caused by six RNA viruses belonging to three virus genera. These viruses have in common that they do not cause systemic infections in their hosts and that they all are transmitted by Brevipalpus mites. Many countries and regions have listed citrus leprosis viruses as quarantine pests. Although there is no report of citrus leprosis viruses in China,the potential threat of CL to citrus production still exists.This review introduces the history,etiological characteristics,transmission pathway of the disease,and evaluates its quarantine significance.
