Cytorhabdovirus tiliae has been confirmed in lime trees in a tree nursery in Germany, as well as in buds from from a street tree in Berlin. Currently, there are no findings regarding the vectors or transmission means for Chytorhabdovirus tiliae because there has been no research conducted on the transmission of this virus. However, in general, Cytorhabdoviruses can be transmitted by aphids (Cytorhabdovirus lactucanecante, Cytorhabdovirus medicagonis), planthoppers (Cytorhabdovirus gramineae, Cytorhabdovirus hordei), leafhoppers (Cytorhabdovirus oryzae) or whiteflies (Cytorhabdovirus caricae). Some viruses are also transmitted by vegetative propagation and some can be transmitted mechanically from infected sap. Seed transmission has not been reported.
