In northern Argentina, papaya crops are under threat from the meleira and new papaya virus X, as confirmed by INTA and Conicet researchers in Salta and Jujuy. These viruses, which can be spread mechanically, cause symptoms such as leaf spots and latex on fruits, potentially reducing quality and profitability. The situation alerts producers to the need for preventive measures like tool disinfection, creating barrier plants, and regular symptom monitoring. These practices are crucial to contain the virus and support the growth of the papaya industry, which is expanding due to increased global demand, particularly in the United States. The research aims to develop effective control strategies not only for Argentina but also for other countries combating these viral complexes in papaya crops.

In northern Argentina, a recently grown tropical fruit faces a dangerous enemy: the meleira virus, which together with the new papaya virus X, threatens the expansion of papaya in the region. Researchers from INTA and Conicet have confirmed its presence in plantations in Salta and Jujuy, news that alerts producers who see their crops affected by these viruses. The symptoms range from spots on leaves to the appearance of latex on fruits, which compromises the quality and profitability of this crop. Dariel Cabrera Mederos, a Conicet researcher at INTA, comments that these viruses affect papaya crops by spreading easily, especially by mechanical means. This means that the handling of field tools, if not careful, facilitates their dissemination. In Brazil, where the meleira has already caused havoc, the complete elimination of affected plantations was the most effective measure to contain the virus. These types of losses can have a profound impact on producers' income and the supply ...
