Leaf spots can vary in size, shape, and color depending on the age and type of the cause or pathogen. Plants, shrubs and trees are weakened by the spots on the leaves as they reduce available foliar space for photosynthesis.

In the early stages, MLND causes long yellow stripes on leaves. Unlike maize streak virus disease though, the streaks of MLND are wider. As the disease advances, the maize leaves become yellow and dry out from the outside edges towards the midrib. MLND can also cause dwarfing and premature aging of the plants.
Extensive infestations by the scale insect causes yellowing of the leaves, premature leaf drop and branch dieback, up to death of the host plant. [ 3 ] [ 2 ] However, there is a range of susceptibility among ornamental Camellia and Ilex species.
