Abstract
English ivy (Hedera helix L.) plants with symptoms of vein clearing on the leaves have recently been found in the surroundings of Split (Croatia, Yugoslavia). These symptoms are characteristic of some diseases which are caused by rhabdoviruses. Therefore, we prepared ultrathin sections of leaves with vein clearing symptoms and we found rhabdoviruses in these leaves. The rhabdovirus particles were located in the cytoplasm. They were 60 to 70 nm wide but the length of virus varied greatly. Afterwards, we succeeded in transmitting this virus mechanically by means of corresponding buffer solution and sodium ascorbate to a suitable test
According to these data wre could conclude that the rhabdovirus found is ivy vein clearing virus which has been first detected and described in Italy. Yugoslavia is the second state in which this rhabdovirus has been found.
