Potyvirus cepae (Onion yellow dwarf potyvirus, (OYDV00) is a damaging pathogen in the Potyviridae family that specifically targets onion, garlic, and leek crops. This single-stranded RNA virus spreads efficiently through aphid vectors and contaminated farming equipment. Infection causes characteristic yellow streaking, severe stunting, and malformed bulbs, often leading to 30-70% yield losses in affected fields Additionally, mechanical transmission through contaminated tools and infected plant material contributes to its spread.
