Abstract

In ultrathin sections of spontaneously infected tobacco plants which schowed symptoms characteristic of tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) the characteristic particles of about 80 nm in diameter were found (Fig. 1). The particles were enveloped with a membrane and were in clusters placed in the cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum. The characteristic form of virus particles confirms that TSWV is indeed spread in Yugoslavia. Earlier reports on the occurrence of this virus in Yugoslavia were based mainly on symptomatological investigations only.
