Family: Caulimoviridae
Genus: Badnavirus
Acronym: BSOLV
BSOLV Synonyms:
BSOLV causes banana streak disease. Disease severity is very variable, and probably depends on environmental conditions, as well as on host and virus genotypes. Mixed infections of BSOLV and Banana mild mosaic virus are also common, and the nature of interactions between these two viruses is unknown. The most characteristic foliar symptoms of infection are chlorotic streaks, which become necrotic with time. The leaf lamina may also be narrower, thicker and become torn. Other symptoms include stunting of the plant, constrict... more info

Mixed infections of BSOLV and Banana mild mosaic virus are also common, and the nature of interactions between these two viruses is unknown. The most characteristic foliar symptoms of infection are chlorotic streaks, which become necrotic with time. The leaf lamina may also be narrower, thicker and become torn. Other symptoms include stunting of the plant, constriction of the bunch on emergence (choking), altered phyllotaxis (leaves arranged in a single vertical plane instead of the normal spiral pattern), and detachment and splitting of the outer leaf sheaths of the pseudostem.
