PVY is also a naked, flexous rod. In combination with PYX it causes rugose mosaic of potato. This disease causes severe damage. The foliage is mottled, severely wrinkled, puckered and markedly reduced in size.
The leaf margins are rolled downwards and the entire plant dwarfed. There is blighting of leaves in severe attacks. PVY is also called Solanum virus 2.
