Abstract
A previously unrecorded disease of potatoes in west-central Iran, characterized by severe stunting, chlorosis, apical necrosis, and wilting, was found to be due to infection by a mechanically transmissible tuber-borne plant rhabdovirus. The virus had bullet-shaped particles measuring 76×190 nm in leaf-dip preparations and was biologically and serologically similar to previously described isolates of eggplant mottled dwarf virus (EMDV). This is the first report of natural occurrence of EMDV in potato
