First Report of Cucumber mosaic virus Infecting Geraniums (Pelargonium spp.) in Iran

摘要

During the winter and spring of 2010, 28 samples of geraniums showing symptoms of virus infection were collected from commercial greenhouses located in the Hamedan province, of Iran (Fig. la and b). Using double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA; Clark and Adams, 1977), the leaf samples were indexed for seven viruses.
