Abstract
The identification of tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) isolate found in the northern part of Yugoslavia is described. On the basis of symptomatological propeties it seems that the investigated isolate represents a mixture of several TSWV strains. The virus reacted positively in agar gel diffusion tests with TSWV antiserum. The purification by sucrose density gradient centrifugation performed after Best (1968) yielded only one virus centrifugal component. Electron microscope analysis showed that during the purification procedure numerous virus particles were destroyed. The transmission by vectors is also disscussed.
