The Maize Lethal Necrosis Disease
(MLND) is a result of a combination
of two viruses, the Maize Chlorotic
Mottle Virus (MCMoV) and any of
the cereal viruses in the Potyviridae
group, like the Sugarcane Mosaic
Virus (SCMV), Wheat Streak Mosaic
Virus (WSMV) or Maize Dwarf Mosaic
Virus (MDMV). The double infection
of the two viruses gives rise to what
is known as MLND, also referred to
as Corn Lethal Necrosis (CLN).
