Emergence of watermelon chlorotic stunt virus in melon and watermelon in the southwestern United States.
Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) and melon (Cucumis melo) plants with leaves exhibiting mosaic symptoms or chlorotic spotting, respectively, along with limited foliar distortion, predominantly on newer growth, were observed in commercial fields throughout Yuma County, AZ, and Imperial County, CA, in fall 2023. Older leaves also exhibited yellowing typical of infection by whitefly-transmitted viruses common in the region, and whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci) were prevalent in fields. Symptomatic plants were tested using a multiplex RT-PCR for cucurbit yellow stunting disorder virus (CYSDV), cucurbit chlorotic yellows virus (CCYV), squash vein yellowing virus (SqVYV), and cucurbit aphid-borne yellows virus (CABYV) (Mondal et al., 2023), and separately for cucurbit leaf crumple virus (CuLCrV; F: TCAAAGGTTTCCCGCTCTGC, R: TCAAAGGTTTCCCGCTCTGC). Most plants were infected with CYSDV, which has been widely prevalent during the fall production season since its emergence in 2006, but not with the other tested viruses. Although the yellowing of older leaves near the crown was typical of symptoms resulting from CYSDV infection, the unusual symptoms on newer growth suggested the possibility of infection by a begomovirus. Rolling circle amplification and DNA sequencing of nucleic acid extract from a symptomatic melon plant collected in Dome Valley, AZ, identified the presence of watermelon chlorotic stunt virus (WmCSV), a bipartite begomovirus (Geminiviridae) (Jones et al., 1988; Lecoq, 2017), but no other begomoviruses.

PCR with primers targeting WmCSV DNA A (F: CATGGAGATGAGGTTCCCCATTCT and R: GCTCGTAGGTCGATTCAACGGCCT) and DNA B (F: AGATACAACGTATGGGCAGCATT and R: TACAGATCCCARTCGATGAGACT) was used for secondary confirmation.

PCR using the DNA A or B primers confirmed the presence of WmCSV from additional watermelon and melon samples collected from Yuma County (31 positive/37 tested) and Imperial County (20/22).

Research is in progress to determine the potential impact of WmCSV on the cucurbit virus complex in the Sonoran Desert and the U.S. as a whole, and to understand the epidemiological factors that influence WmCSV infection and spread.
