Pepper Ringspot virus fact sheet

The Pepper ringspot virus (PepRSV) was recorded in Brazil already in the 1960’s. The spreading in other countries is unknown. In South Africa the PepRSV was recorded in various potato production regions in the Limpopo, Free State, KwaZulu-Natal, North West and Northern Cape provinces. It was also identified in samples gathered at fresh produce markets where it often appeared latently. It must be emphasised that symptoms are often latent and infection levels low.
