Closterovirus particles were detected in both MWP symptomatic and asymptomatic pineapple worldwide. The particles, referred to as Pineapple Mealybug Wilt-associated Virus-1 and PMWaV-2. Both viruses are mealybug transmitted. Two species of mealybug, the pink mealybug Dysmicoccus brevipes (Cockerell), and the grey mealybug Dysmicoccus neobrevipes (Beardsley) have been associated with MWP.
