Strawberry mild yellow-edge virus (SMYEV) is a pathogenic plant virus.
The virus is transmitted by aphid species in the Chaetosiphon genus, mainly C. fragaefolii, C. thomasi, C. thomasi jacobi. The virus cannot be transmitted through seeds, contact, grafting, or pollen. It is also a vector for the strawberry yellow edge-associated potexvirus.
Symptoms of this virus mainly include cupped leaflets and reduced in Fragaria species. In some plants such as Fragaria chiloensis and Fragaria × ananassa infection appears symptomless.
The susceptible host species are mainly in the Rosaceae and Rutaceae families
