Abstract
A sap transmissible virus was isolated from satsuma mandarins showing ringspots on fruits in Arida district of Wakayama prefecture. Symptoms of herbaceous plants inoculated with the virus were slightly different from those of satsuma dwarf virus (SDV). The virus particles were polyhedrons of approximately 28 nm in diameter and consisted of three centrifugal components. Double immunodiffusion and cross-absorption tests showed that the virus was heterologously related to SDV. Satsuma mandarins inoculated with the purified virus developed typical ringspots on fruits. These results indicate that the virus is citrus mosaic virus causing mosaic diseases in satsuma mandarins.
