Beet western yellows virus, BWYV) has a single-stranded, positive-sense RNA genome. It is phloem-limited and aphid-transmitted in a persistent (circulative, non-propagative) manner. The virus represents a serious threat to Brazilian brassica production as it has been shown to cause yield losses of up to 65% in vegetable brassicas (Walsh et al., 2011). In the 1970’s and 1980’s, infections of wild radish plants with yellowing symptoms in lower leaves were reported in Brazil, probably caused by BWYV (Kitajima, 2020) though the aetiology was not confirmed. In May 2017, a cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) plant with reddening of leaves was discovered in a commercial field in the municipality of Araucária, Paraná State, Brazil (Fig. 1). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay of the symptomatic leaf tissue for TuYV (Hackenberg et al., 2019) gave a clear positive result. No infection by Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) or Cole latent virus (CoLV) was detected following RNA extraction and RT-PCR with specific primers. Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) was not detected following DNA extraction and PCR. Mechanical inoculation of symptomatic leaf tissue to a range of indicator plants failed to detect the presence of any virus. In July 2021, leaves from six cabbage plants showing reddening symptoms in older leaves were collected from two commercial fields in the municipality of Ibiúna (Fig. 2), in the main vegetable brassicaproducing region in São Paulo State, Brazil. The incidence of symptomatic plants was c. 1%. All symptomatic plants tested by RT-PCR with
