    World distribution

    World distribution
    MDMV occurs in the world's major maize and sorghum growing areas, distributed in: the United States, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Venezuela, Morocco, China and other countries
    .

    Host plants
    2.
    Host plants
     
    The source of MDMV in the field is mainly some disease-susceptible plants, but also from diseased corn seeds
    .
    The host plant of MDMV natural origin has many species of grasses, the most important of which is Johnson grass and a sorghum (Sorghum verticiliflorum
    ).

    Transmission route

    Transmission route
     
    1.
    MDMV is mainly transmitted in a non-lasting way by corn aphid, wheat dipter aphid, cotton aphid, peach aphid, etc.
    , and the source of the virus is spread
    by aphids sucking leaf juice.
     
    2.
    Seed transmission, the long-distance spread of the virus is completed
    through the international seed trade.

    Symptoms of infection

    Symptoms of infection
     
    After maize is infected with maize dwarf mosaic disease virus, the typical symptom is the first round faded green spots
    between the veins at the base of the heart leaf of the seedling.
    As the plant grows, the faded green spots gradually expand to the whole leaf, showing a typical flower-leaf shape
    .
    In some varieties, the leaves show the yellowing of the inter-veined leaf flesh and the leaves are striped
    .
    The earlier the disease-inducing period, the more pronounced the dwarfing of the plant, the inability to draw males and bear fruit, and the premature aging and death
    of the plant.
     
    5.
    Hazard situation
    5.
    Hazard situation
     
    MDMV can cause plants to fade, dwarf, sterile, premature death and other symptoms, resulting in economic losses
    of corn and sorghum.
     
    In 1963, corn dwarf mosaic disease was first reported in the United States in Ohio, and soon spread to 37 states, becoming one
    of the most widely distributed and harmful corn diseases in the United States.
     
    In the late 1860s, corn dwarf mosaic disease occurred for the first time on a large scale in parts of Henan Province, henan province alone, and Hui County in Henan Province alone lost 25 million kilograms of grain, accounting for 33.
    53%
    of the total output of the county.
     
    Corn is one of the staple foods in China, and the risk of corn seeds carrying quarantine pests cannot be ignored
    .
    In 2021, joint announcement No.
    413 of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and the General Administration of Customs came into effect, and maize dwarf mosaic virus was included in the Directory of Quarantine Pests of Imported Plants of the People's Republic of
    China.
    Quarantine of imported plants of the General Customs Administration of Pests
     
    1.
    In the phytosanitary protocol on the import of corn imported to China signed with Kazakhstan, Serbia, Uruguay and other countries, China has included the corn dwarf mosaic virus in the list of pests of concern as a quarantine pest management
    .
     
    2.
    Carry out inspection and quarantine of imported corn and sorghum, especially for pests of concern for the protocol and quarantine
    examination and approval.
     
    3.
    As an important wintering host of MDMV, Johnson grass is also a quarantine weed in China, and should also pay attention to the monitoring
    of foreign epidemics such as weeds during port quarantine.
