Abstract
SUMMARYIn the Ivory Coast, an apparently undescribed virus was isolated from okra (Hibiscus esculentus) in which it caused mosaic and leaf vein banding. The virus was sap transmissible to a wide range of plants and had a thermal inactivation point of 80 °C. It was named okra mosaic virus (OMV). A purification procedure was developed. Electron microscopy and analytical and density gradient centrifugation showed that OMV was an isometric virus accompanied by empty shells (top component). Serological tests showed OMV to be a member of the tymovirus group.
