Abstract
Abstract Two isolates of cherry leaf roll virus (CLRV), one from diseased beech and one from diseased birch trees in an area with forest decline near Bonn in West Germany, were found to be serologically closely related, but not indentical as assessed by spurformation of precipitin lines in agarose gel double diffusion tests. Such tests also distinguished these German CLRV isolates from ten other distinct CLRV isolates obtained from different natural hosts and from various countries. The German beech isolate was most similar serologically to isolates from walnut and from birch in England and the German birch isolate to an English cherry isolate and an isolate from Sambucus racemosa in Finland. These results provide further evidence of the antigenicdiversity of CLRV.
