Abstract The Andean strain of potato virus S
(PVSA) has been isolated from plants in potato (Solanum
tuberosum) breeding plots and ware crops in New Zealand. Symptoms on
indicator plants (particularly Chenopodium spp.), aphid transmission,
and some physical characteristics of this isolate are consistent with those
previously recorded overseas. Spread of this virus appears to be primarily
through mechanical means. Control of PVSA virus in New Zealand is
dependent on the availability of high quality, virus-tested seed lines.
