Broad bean true mosaic virus (also called Echtes Ackerbohnemosaik-virus, Vicia virus 1, and Viciavirus varians) is a virus first described in 1953 that affects legumes, commonly found in crops of broad bean in both Europe and Northwest Africa.[1][2] There are no known vectors, although it has been known to transverse long distances between crops.[3] Infection via seed is common, though the virus is also present in sap.
