Abstract
AbstractA rhabdovirus isolated in Tunisia by mechanical inoculation from honeysuckle (Lonicera sp.) plants with vein yellowing, was compared with a Tunisian isolate of eggplant mottled dwarf virus (EMDV). The two viruses had similar host ranges and caused the same symptoms in artificially infected hosts. The honeysuckle virus induced in eggplant a syndrome indistinguishable from that typical of EMDV. The two viruses could not be differentiated serologically, had particles of the same size and elicited identical cytopathological alterations in naturally and artificially infected hosts. Honeysuckle is the first host, besides eggplant, found to be naturally infected with EMDV.
