I'm afraid there is no cure for AMV once the plant has been infected. On the bright side, AMV will probably not kill the tree. Adding all-purpose fertilizer might help it.

Different apple cultivars have been observed to have varying levels of susceptibility to AMV. I'm sure there's a resistance gene somewhere out there.
