Wonder, was isolated at the Agricultural Experiment Station 2 years ago. VPLLT is not inactivated by heating at 85° C, can be diluted to 1-100,000, and is still active after 14 days at room temperature (29° C). It is not serologically related to tobacco mosaic virus, tobacco severe etch virus, Puerto Rican pepper mosaic virus, tobacco ringspot virus, green mottle mosaic (cucumber #3) virus, squash mosaic virus, potato virus X, sugarcane mosaic virus, and MMV (Puerto Rico isolate) of squash mosaic virus. No transmission of VPLLT was obtained using the aphid species <em>A. gossypii</em> and <em>M. persicae</em> as vectors. The virus easily passes through a Millipore 0.45 µ  filter, and is not immunologically related to TMV or PRPMV. It was found that P.R. Wonder and Cuaresmeño hot pepper, two varieties highly-resistant to PRPMV, are fully susceptible to the VPLLT virus.}, number={4}, journal={The Journal of Agriculture of the University of Puerto Rico}, author={Adsuar, José and Enrique Pérez, J. and Cortés Monllor, Amelia}, year={1971}, month={Oct.}, pages={405–410} }
