The primary pepper producing areas of southern New Mexico were surveyed to identify the viruses causing severe disease in chile peppers over a 2-year period. The survey included weeds commonly found in and around pepper fields. Using indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), Pepper mottle virus (PepMoV) was associated with plants showing mosaic and distortion of foliage and fruit deformation. PepMoV and Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) were determined based on ELISA to be infecting chile peppers and weeds singly or in combination. Four perennial plant species were infected with PepMoV and CMV, including Solanum elaeagnifolium (silverleaf nightshade), Convolvulus arvensis (field bindweed), and Chamysuraces sp. (small groundcherry), which had not previously been identified as hosts for PepMoV. Some peppers and weeds surveyed were also infected at a lower level by several other plant viruses.
在两年时间里，对新墨西哥州南部的主要辣椒产区进行了调查，以确定导致辣椒严重病害的病毒。该调查包括辣椒田及其周边常见的杂草。采用间接酶联免疫吸附测定法（ELISA），发现辣椒斑驳病毒（PepMoV）与出现叶片花叶和扭曲以及果实变形的植株有关。基于ELISA确定，PepMoV和黄瓜花叶病毒（CMV）单独或联合感染辣椒和杂草。四种多年生植物感染了PepMoV和CMV，包括茄属银叶茄（银叶茄）、旋花科田旋花和酸浆属（小酸浆），这些植物此前未被确定为PepMoV的寄主。一些接受调查的辣椒和杂草还受到其他几种植物病毒的低水平感染。
