Distribution details in Nicaragua
Current pest situation evaluated by EPPO on the basis of information dated
2025: Absent, no record
Bean golden mosaic virus (BGMV, now Begomovirus costai) and bean golden yellow mosaic virus (BGYMV, now Begomovirus birdi) were separated in the 1990s. Literature prior to this separation considered all records as bean golden mosaic virus (including in the EPPO/CABI Data Sheet, 1997). The reference previously used to justify the record for this country (below) refers only to bean golden yellow mosaic virus (Begomovirus birdi). No reference for Nicaragua was found in the literature (2025-11).
