English. At least three viruses have been detected causing the leaf curl syndrome in sweet potato. These include Sweet potato feathery mottle virus (SPFMV), Sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus (SPCSV). Among these viruses, SPFMV was found to be the most widespread and predominant virus in the disease complex. SPFMV caused mild to moderate virus symptoms only if it occurred in single infection. However, plants exhibited more severe symptoms when exposed to whiteflies. Based on differential reactions to diagnostic hosts like Ipomoea setosa and I. nil, some SPFMV isolates were isolated and characterized and confirmed positive for single infection with SPFMV. Results of NCM ELISA varied among isolates.
