Use a crop rotation for viruses transmitted by soil-living organisms. Once a plant is infected there is no cure. Dig up and burn. See also Cucumber mosaic virus Zucchini yellow mosaic virus.

Basil is rarely troubled by pests or diseases. Protect plants with row covers when temperatures drop below 40°F or dark spots caused by cold injury may appear on leaves. Fungi may also cause dark spots on foliage. Remove spotted leaves and spray foliage with compost tea or sulfur if problem is severe. If leaves are mottled yellow with tumed-down edges, plants may have cucumber mosaic virus. Destroy infected plants. See the Herbs entry beginning on page 116 for other problems. 

A virus usually has a common name that includes the plant it was first identified on, along with the symptom produced. Thus, cucumber mosaic virus was first identified on cucumber and produces a patchy yellow mottling of the leaves. But cucumber mosaic virus also attacks many other plants, including beans, celery, petunias, and delphiniums, and it doesn t always produce the distinctive mosaic symptom. Scientists are working on a more precise classification system for viruses, based on their chemical makeups, their shapes, and their modes of transmission. 

Many viruses also attack weeds, so good weed control can help reduce problems. When possible, remove nearby wild or abandoned plants known to be susceptible to viruses that also attack your plants. Ragweed, nightshade, and milkweed, for example, are hosts of cucumber mosaic virus. 

Pares and co-workers (1992) showed that the cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) was present in leaves showing mosaic, mottled, and chlorotic symptoms. Subsequently, Davis and colleagues (1996) found that CMV was widely distributed in kava plants in all major kava-producing countries. They also showed that the symptoms of the dieback disease developed on plants inoculated with CMV, usually within three to four weeks after leaf symptoms first became visible. It is now accepted that the CMV is the main causative agent for the kava dieback disease. The disease is also aggravated by plant-sucking pests such as the leaf miner and aphids which create entry in the cells for the CMV, and by infections from soil borne nematodes, fungi, and bacteria.
