TYLCV infection in plants of Acalypha australis was reported from China and South Florida (Ying and Davis 2000; Ji et al. 2013). The virus-infected Asian copperleaf plants do not show any symptoms. The virus is transmitted by the whitefly vector, Bemisia tabaci, in a circulative non-propagative manner. The virus is transmissible by grafting but not by contact between plants. For more details of TYLCV, refer to Solanum lycopersicum.
