Transmission and Disease Management
Celery mosaic, like most potyviruses, is non-persistently transmitted by aphids. This means that the aphid can pick up the virus on its stylet (its mouthparts) and transfer it quickly to the next plant it probes. The virus can also be transmitted mechanically by tools and machinery. There is no evidence of seed transmission.
Recommendations for management of this disease are summarized in a fact sheet from Western Australia on Celery mosaic virus.(See page 2 of reference for recommendations and page 3 and 4 for pictures of symptoms in celery.)
