Abstract
In November 2016, leaf curling and yellowing were observed in common bean plants on Ishigaki Island, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. Those symptoms suggested a virus-like disease. PCR using specific primers for ageratum yellow vein virus (AYVV) yielded PCR products of the expected size from diseased plants. The complete nucleotide sequence of the DNA-A shared 99.9% identity with that of the AYVV-Ishigaki isolate. Further, the virus was transmitted by Bemisia tabaci Middle East-Asia Minor 1 and Mediterranean. This is the first report of the natural occurrence of AYVV in common bean plants.
