A study of filamentous viruses in maize and smallgrains

Bibliography: pages 175-184. / The occurrence of maize dwarf mosaic virus (MDMV) in field grown maize was investigated. For this purpose, maize showing mosiac symptoms was collected from different maize growing areas in South Africa by Prof. M.B. von Wechmar. These samples from Transvaal, Orange Free State and Natal were then investigated for the presence of MDMV and possible strains of this virus. Three virus isolates were purified and partially characterised. These isolates were serologically compared together with a fourth isolate SCMV 4975, obtained from the U.S., to establish strain relationships.
