Abstract

Cucumber mosaic virus is a member of genus Cucumovirus from the Brommoviridae family known to have a very wide host range and is one of the most prevalent viruses in the globe. The research work of cucumber mosaic virus strains responsible for various diseases in vegetable and pulse crops; ornamentals, medicinal and aromatic plants and weeds reported in world from last 71 years (1951–2022) have been reviewed in this article. It includes historical background, taxonomy and classification, Geographical distribution, Host range and virus propagation, Virus Structure and Genome organization, Replication, Movement, survey, symptomatology, Insect transmission, Evolution and Management. The mode of spread of the diseases in nature through insect vectors, search of alternate hosts/reservoirs and diagnostics methods for sensitive detection of the viruses at early stages of infection in plants and in propagating materials are important factors to study virus and disease epidemiology. These reviews summarised in this article focused on the epidemic nature of CMV, their capability to infect a variety of economically important plants and proper identification and designing the effective management strategies which would help to strengthen the understanding of the researchers and students in particular discipline help to design the management strategies.
