Evidence of expanded diversity in weeds as reservoir host of viruses in pepper fields across southwestern Nigeria

This study aimed to investigate virus occurrence in weed species in the main pepper-growing areas in Southwest Nigeria. The weed samples collected from pepper farms were identified and subjected to Antigen-Coated Plate Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay using antibodies specific eight different virus...

description This study aimed to investigate virus occurrence in weed species in the main pepper-growing areas in Southwest Nigeria. The weed samples collected from pepper farms were identified and subjected to Antigen-Coated Plate Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay using antibodies specific eight different viruses. Results showed that the Weed species collected contain 17 families, 33 genera and 36 plant species of which 83.33% of the plant species tested positive to one or more plant viruses. The results indicate that potato virus Y (PVY) and potato virus X (PVX) infected more weed species (24). Also, Ageratum conyzoides serve as host to 8 viruses while Alchornea cordata, Corchorus olitoris and Talinum triangulare serve as host to 7 viruses respectively. These results provide information on weeds as virus reservoirs and contribute to the knowledge of epidemiology of these diseases, enabling a proper weed management aiming at reducing the secondary spreading control of viruses.
