Abstract

To understand and manage viruses causing citrus leprosis it is necessary to identify their alternate host plants and know their distributions. Currently, the citrus leprosis disease is associated with several viruses of the genera Cilevirus and Dichoravirus. In Colombia, symptoms of citrus leprosis have been related to citrus leprosis virus C (CiLV-C - Cilevirus leprosis) and citrus leprosis virus C2 (CiLV-C2 - Cilevirus colombiaense). To detect leprosis-associated viruses in plants of the family Orchidaceae and identify the possible associated vectors, inspections and samplings were carried out on garden plants and orchid crops, and molecular detection of viruses and the taxonomic identification of mites were accomplished. As a result, Brevipalpus californicus s. l., B. phoenicis s.s., and B. essigi (Prostigmata: Tenuipalpidae) are recorded for the first time on orchid plants from Colombia. A taxonomic key is provided to identify mites of the family Tenuipalpidae on orchids worldwide. The implications of these mites for the phytosanitary protection in citrus crops of Colombia are discussed.
