Viral Diseases
- Cause: Viruses are microscopic pathogens that cannot live outside of a host. They are usually transmitted through insect vectors like aphids and whiteflies, as well as contaminated seeds or equipment.
- Examples:
- Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV): Causes mosaic-like patterns on leaves, affecting tobacco, tomatoes, and peppers.
- Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus: Transmitted by whiteflies, this virus causes yellowing and curling of tomato plant leaves.
- Cucumber Mosaic Virus (CMV): Affects a variety of plants, including cucumbers, tomatoes, and peppers, causing leaf mottling and stunted growth.
- Symptoms: Mosaic patterns, stunting, leaf curl, fruit malformation.
