75 plant species from 11 families were tested in Sri Lanka for their susceptibility to transferring the papaya mosaic virus. After inoculation with this virus, six species, Cucurbita pepo, Cucumis sativus, Nicotiana tabacum, Chenopodium amaranticolor, Gomphrena globosa and Lycopersicum esculentum, developed such symptoms, and after re-isolation from the host plant the virus again infected papaya plants. Thus these species are possible alternate hosts of papaya mosaic virus in Sri Lanka.
在斯里兰卡，对来自11个科的75种植物进行了测试，以检测它们对传播木瓜花叶病毒的易感性。用这种病毒接种后，西葫芦、黄瓜、烟草、苋色藜、千日红和番茄这6种植物出现了此类症状，并且从寄主植物上再次分离出病毒后，该病毒再次感染了木瓜植株。因此，这些物种可能是斯里兰卡木瓜花叶病毒的替代寄主。
