Abstract
A virus disease of bittergourd (Momordica charantia L.) was observed around Coimbatore. The virus was transmitted by five species of aphid vectors, viz., Myzus persicae, Aphis gossypii, A. malvae A. nerii and Brevicoryne brassicae but not by sap or seed. The virus did not pass on to Solanum tuberosum L. and Citrus aurantifolia. The host range of the virus was confined to members of Cucurbitaceae. The virus was tentatively designated as Bittergourd Mosaic Virus.
