(Peruvian lily; Alstroemeriaceae).\u00a0 Freesia and Peruvian lily are monocots and although presently naturalized in several countries including the USA, both plant species are native to South Africa and South America respectively (Bellardi, 1992; Brunt <em>et al<\/em>., 1996 onwards). <em>Freesia mosaic virus<\/em> was also detected in Lily (<em>Lilium <\/em>sp.) by the CDFA (see \u2018Initiating Event\u2019) and is included as an associated host.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Symptoms<\/em>:\u00a0 Symptoms of <em>Freesia mosaic virus-<\/em>infected freesia plants include mild chlorosis. The pathogen may also be present in symptomless plants (Brunt et al., 1996 onwards).\u00a0 Experimentally, <em>Alstroemeria<\/em> sp. plants that were mechanical inoculated FMV infested plant sap, failed to show symptoms three months after inoculation, although the virus was detected serologically (Bellardi, 1992).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Complex infections of <em>Freesia mosaic virus<\/em> and <em>Freesia sneak virus<\/em> may result in severe leaf necrosis showing symptoms of chlorotic spots and stripes that appear on the first leaf of freesia plants grown from corms, and later turn grey-brown and necrotic as the disease progresses rapidly often resulting in rot of corms, and death of plants before flower formation (Van Dorst, 1973).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Damage Potential<\/em>: In California, nursery and private productions of freesia and lily plants may be impacted if infected with FreMV.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Transmission<\/em>: In nature, <em>Freesia mosaic virus <\/em>is transmitted by the potato aphid, <em>Macrosiphum euphorbiae<\/em> and green peach aphid, <em>Myzus persicae<\/em>.\u00a0 It is also transmitted by mechanical inoculation and spread <em>via<\/em> infected nursery plants and propagative parts.\u00a0\u00a0 The virus pathogen is not transmitted by seed, pollen or contact between plants (Brunt <em>et al.,<\/em> 1996 onwards).<\/p>\n<p><u><strong>Worldwide Distribution<\/strong><\/u>:\u00a0\u00a0<em>Asia<\/em>: India, Korea; <em>Europe<\/em>: United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands; North America: USA (Virginia); Australia; New Zealand (found, but with no evidence of spread) (Bellardi, 1992; Brunt, <em>et al.<\/em>, 1996 onwards; Kumar <em>et al.,<\/em> 2008; Jeong et al., 2014; Vaira <em>et al.,<\/em> 2009).<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Official Control<\/u>:<\/strong> <em>Freesia mosaic virus <\/em>is on the \u2018Harmful Organism List\u2019 for Colombia, Georgia, Israel, Japan, Peru, and Taiwan (USDA-PCIT, 2016).\u00a0 Currently, FreMV has a temporary Q-rating in California.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>California Distribution<\/u>:<\/strong> San Luis Obispo (nursery).<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>California Interceptions<\/u>:<\/strong> There have not been any interceptions of <em>Freesia mosaic virus<\/em>-infected plants entering California.<\/p>\n<p>The risk <em>Freesia mosaic<\/em> <em>virus<\/em> would pose to California is evaluated below.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Consequences of Introduction:\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><strong>1) <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Climate\/Host Interaction<\/span>:<\/strong> Evaluate if the pest would have suitable hosts and climate to establish in California.
