There are, so far, two kinds of viral diseases known affecting chili pepper in Indonesia, namely yellowing and mosaic. Yellowing disease has been reported associated with one virus that is pepper leaf curl geminivirus (Pep LCV), but mosaic disease of the plant may associate with infection of several different species of viruses. These viruses may be cucumber mosaic cucumovirus (CMV), tobacco mosaic tobamovirus (TMV) and chili veinal mottle potyvirus (Chi VMV). Surveys conducted in most of the chili pepper production areas of Bali reveal that mosaic diseases occurred in high incidence and caused a significant yield loss in some areas. Virus identification by using enzyme linked immunosorbent assays revealed the domination of CMV infection in all field surveyed (28.5%). These results suggested that mosaic disease of chili pepper in Bali was mostly associated with infection of CMV.
