 Infectious Yellowing Diseases of Watermelon in Texas, by Tom Isakeit
This is a whitefly-transmitted virus that was first detected in 1982 in the Imperial Valley of California and in Arizona.
LIYV became insignificant when the populations of the sweet-potato whitefly shifted from the A biotype to the B biotype (also known as the silverleaf whitefly, which is the predominant biotype in South Texas), because the B biotype is much less effective in transmitting LIYV.
This virus causes severe yellowing in cantaloupe, which is associated with significant yield losses, but the symptoms and impact on yield are less severe in watermelon.
