Cowpea mild mottle virus (CPMMV) is a plant pathogenic virus of the family Betaflexiviridae that infects yardlong beans,[1] soybeans[citation needed] and peanuts.[2] It is transmitted by whiteflies that feed on the underside of plant leaves.[2][3] Symptoms of infection include leaf malformation and mosaic, or spotted, patterns on the leaves.[citation needed] According to the Handbook of Plant Virus Diseases, the pathogen is found in "China, India, Indonesia, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Thailand, Philippines, Papua New Guinea [and] Sudan".[4]
