Abstract
The virus symptoms of yellow net on Sambucus nigra leaves were observed in two localities for the first time in Yugoslavia. A detailed analysis of virus by means of test plants showed that the causal agent of yellow nets in both localities was cherry leaf roll virus (CLRV). The yellow nets were investigated with two sera against CLRV, both of which reacted positively.
During these investigations, in many specimens of elderberries with yellow net symptoms, a large number of elongated virus particles about 680 nm long and 12 nm wide were found. The particles were observed by means of ul- trathin sections and by means of dip preparations. This elongated virus is elderberry carlavirus (ECV), which was on this occasion found in Yugoslavia for the first time.
According to some data in the literature ECV is very probably present in Hungary and was found also in Tschechoslovakia many years ago. Therefore it can be claimed that ECV is spread in south-eastern Europe.
