[8] The later report also stated that this virus caused disease in bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and in white clover (Trifolium repens).

[13] Strains of PSV have now been identified in Africa (Morocco), Europe (France, Poland, Russia, and Spain) and Asia (India,[14] Japan, Korea and China[15]) as well as in the United States.

In addition to beans, peanuts, and clover (7 different species of Trifolium[16]), PSV has been reported to naturally infect peas (Pisum sativum), soybeans (Glycine max), alfalfa (Medicago sativa) and lupine (Lupinus luteus).

[19] Cultivated Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum)[20] and celery (Apium graveolens)[21] have also been reported to be naturally infected.

It has been shown to be transmitted by seeds in peanuts at a very low level[22] but this is not considered to be very important to the spread of this virus.
