Popis:	Sweet potato virus disease (SPVD) is caused by dual infection of plants with Sweet Potato Feathery Mottle Virus (SPFMV) and Sweet Potato Chlorotic Stunt Virus (SPCSV). Because SPFMV and SPCSV are transmitted by aphids and whiteflies, respectively, infection in nature occurs independently rather than simultaneously. To investigate the effect of consecutive infection on symptom development and individual virus titres, plants infected with a single virus were later inoculated with the second virus. Symptoms were significantly more severe in plants infected with SPCSV followed by SPFMV compared to plants infected with SPFMV followed by SPCSV. Virus titres were not significantly different for SPCSV, but SPFMV titres, in plants infected with SPCSV followed by SPFMV, were significantly higher than all other treatments. The results indicate that the sequence of infection of sweetpotato plants with the causal agents of SPVD influence the severity of symptoms and SPFMV titres in SPVD affected plants.
