Abstract Glasshouse production of capsicums in the Sunraysia district of NSW and Victoria is severely limited by infection with a range of viruses. Aphid transmission tests, electron microscopy and serological assays have shown that one of the viruses involved is a luteovirus – the frst record of a naturally occurring luteovirus in glasshouse capsicum. The relationship of this virus to other luteoviruses known to infect solanaceous hosts is examined, and data presented to show that it is most probably a capsicum strain of potato leafroll virus.
