Popis: Di Feo, L., Nome, S. F., Biderbost, E., Fuentes, S., and Salazar, L. F. 2000. Etiology of sweet potato chlorotic dwarf disease in Argentina. Plant Dis. 84:35-39. Chlorotic dwarf (CD), the most important disease in the sweet potato-producing regions of Argentina, is caused by the synergistic combination of two aphid-transmitted potyviruses with a whitefly-transmitted crinivirus. Sweet potato feathery mottle virus, sweet potato mild speckling virus, and a crinivirus (serologically related to sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus) were associated with CD. The synergistic combination of these three viruses reproduced the disease. Additional keywords: Bemisia tabaci, Myzus persicae, sweet potato sunken vein virus, synergistic virus interactions
