Abstract
Pea enation mosaic virus (PEMV) was found in two localities in Yugoslavia, i. e. in Zagreb and Delnice. The isolates G1 (Zagreb) and G2 (Delnice) were transmitted to pea, broad bean, and Chenopodium species. Characteristic enations often arose on pea and broad bean, specially under glasshouse conditions. Other symptoms like deformations of leaves, stems and pods, and strong mosaic were also present, specially on peas. The presence of PEMV in these species was proved by means of antisera obtained from Germany and Italy. The isolate G2 was partially purified and photographed with the electron microscope. The virus particles had a diameter of about 30 nm. A rabbit was injected the partially purified virus and a serum against the Yugoslav G2 isolate was prepared after a month.
