Cowpea mild mottle virus (CPMMV) is a plant pathogenic virus of the family Betaflexiviridae that infects yardlong beans,[1] soybeans[2] and peanuts.[3] It is transmitted by whiteflies that feed on the underside of plant leaves.[3][4] Symptoms of infection include leaf malformation and mosaic, or spotted, patterns on the leaves.[2] According to the Handbook of Plant Virus Diseases, the pathogen is found in "China, India, Indonesia, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Thailand, Philippines, Papua New Guinea [and] Sudan".[5]
