What is an opportunist?

An "opportunist" is a population (fungi, bacteria, insects…) that takes advantage of a favourable environment to settle in, multiply and feed on it. It often develops when the natural defences of the affected organism are weakened — for genetic reasons or linked to context (water stress, deficiencies, nutritional imbalances, overcrowding…). This is typically the case in monocultures, where a single host plant, uniform and present in large numbers, offers ideal ground for it to spread.

Identification key : Viral diseases (Damage and symptoms on the host)

Scientific name : Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) (also Cucumovirus CMV)

Other names : CMV

One of the plant viruses with the widest host range, able to infect over a thousand species, including cucurbits, tomato, pepper, lettuce, spinach, bean, banana and many ornamentals. It causes yellow-and-green mosaics, distorted and reduced leaves, stunting and mottled or misshapen fruit. It is transmitted non-persistently by more than eighty aphid species, and by seed in some crops.

Crops affected : Banana, Bean, Bell pepper, Cucumber, Flowers (cut & garden), Lettuce, Melon, Spinach, Squash / Pumpkin, Tomato, Watermelon, Zucchini
