Abstract
On the leaves of Trifolium pratense and T. fragiferum, symptoms of virus disease were noticed in the form of yellow spots, lines and patches. Diseased specimens were found in the environments of Zagreb, in the Sarajevo Valley and among wild grown clover at Solin. From diseased clovers a virus was isolated mechanically and identified as alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) on the basis of reaction on 14 differential herbaceous plants. This result was confirmed by electron microscopical investigations. At the same time characteristic spherical and bacilliform particles were established in purified sap. The identification of virus was also confirmed by positive results of serological tests performed by double diffusion method in agar-gel.
