CVC is considered the most important disease of brazilian citrus industry but many aspects of its epidemiology are still unknown. This work aimed to characterize the spatial pattern of CVC affected trees in three regions (Northwest, Center and South) of São Paulo state, Brazil. Three orchards of Pêra sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) grafted on Rangpur lime (Citrus limonia) were evaluated twice a month by visual assessments from July 1998 to December 2000. For each evaluation all plants were inspected and assigned as diseased or healthy and cumulative maps were produced. The following analyses were performed: ordinary runs, isopath areas, Taylor law, dispersion index and foci structure and dynamics analysis. Ordinary runs indicated a trend to randomness. Isopath areas analysis showed few compact foci and a trend to uniform incidence in all areas. The other analysis showed few if any differences between regions and results that could classify CVC pattern as slightly aggregated.
