Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV) is a plant pathogenic virus that occurs worldwide on species of field grown bell, hot and ornamental pepper species. It is caused by members of the plant virus genus Tobamovirus—otherwise known as the tobacco mosaic virus family. Tobamovirus are viruses that contain positive sense RNA genomes that infect ...
Pepper mottle was first recognized as a new strain of PVY infecting peppers in Arizona in 1969. [4] In the early 1970s an "atypical" PVY isolate was also found in a survey of pepper fields in central Florida. [5] Up until then, the two most important potyviruses infecting peppers in the US were Tobacco etch virus (TEV) and Potato virus Y (PVY).

Tobamovirus is a genus of positive-strand RNA viruses [2] in the family Virgaviridae. [3] Many plants, [2] including tobacco, potato, tomato, and squash, serve as natural hosts.
By Esther Sung The word "pepper" refers to members of the genus Capsicum, which includes hot varieties, also known as chile peppers, and sweet varieties, such as the bell pepper. Up until the ...

There is tenuous evidence that a virus common to peppers, the Pepper Mild Mottle Virus (PMMoV) may have moved on to infect humans. [9] This is a rare and unlikely event as, to enter a cell and replicate, a virus must "bind to a receptor on its surface, and a plant virus would be highly unlikely to recognize a receptor on a human cell.
[1] [2] [3] Diseases associated with this family include: bright yellow mosaic, yellow mosaic, yellow mottle, leaf curling, stunting, streaks, reduced yields. [ 2 ] [ 4 ] They have single-stranded circular DNA genomes encoding genes that diverge in both directions from a virion strand origin of replication (i.e. geminivirus genomes are ambisense ).
