   * **Environmental Stress:** Stress due to light, temperature, or other factors can cause similar epidermal markings (Paul Smyle, Vino Torres).
   * **Other viral strains:** Tricho Thomas noted that lesions lacking distinct crescent or hollow circle patterns may point to a different viral type rather than TMV.
+Note that many famous trichocereus clones are infected with TMV including for example SS02 and RS0005. Gee Bee says that TMV has been shown to increase alkaloid content in infected plants.

     * **Insecticidal Soap:** Jacob Mendenhall suggests spritzing pests with insecticidal soap, noting it works especially well when the bugs are young, whereas adults are more resistant.

 ===== Notes & Contradictions =====
   * **Absence of Standing Authority:** Recognized expert Gee Bee did not directly participate in these discussion threads. However, Aay Jay noted in December 2025 that Gee Bee had recently posted positive mosaic virus test results in the group, providing authoritative support for the virus's presence in cacti.
