Abstract

Infection with carnation necrotic fleck virus (CNFV) was established in cultivations of carnation (Dianthus caryo- phyllus L.) in Zagreb and Split. The disease was detected on the basis of characteristic symptoms which appeared as yellow and reddish necrotic streaks and spots on the leaves. From carnation the virus was transmitted by Myzus persicae into D. barbatus L. In this species alterations appeared after 2 to 3 weeks in one or two pairs of adjacent decussated leaves in the form of discoloration of leaf veins and wilting of the leaves. The virus was proved by the appearance of characteristic aggregates of filamentous virus particles c. 1380 nm long in thin sections, and by positive reaction with antiserum to CNFV.
CNFV is the fifth virus detected on carnations in Yugoslavia.
