Summary A whitefly‐transmitted infectious agent, associated with geminate particles, induced distinct symptoms on several Ipomoea species, but not on I. batatas cv. Georgia Jet. The virus was transmitted by Bemisia argentifolii in a persistent manner and by grafting, but not mechanically. No transmission to species outside Ipomoea was obtained. Extracts from infected Ipomoea plants hybridised with a bean yellow mosaic virus riboprobe and a tomato yellow leaf curl virus riboprobe, although not so strongly as hybridisation of these riboprobes with extracts from plants infected with the homologous viruses. Based on host range, we consider this virus to be distinct from sweet potato leaf curl virus reported from the Far East, and propose it be named “Ipomoea crinkle leaf curl virus” (ICLCV).
