abstract:
A double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) ca. 19 kb in size
was recovered from a fig tree of Algerian origin (F3)
showing chlorotic mottling of the leaves and clearing of
the second and third veins. Filamentous closteroviruslike
particles up to 2100 nm in length and with distinct
cross banding were observed in leaf dips. Cytopathology
of thin sectioned phloem cells was similar to that
elicited by members of the family Closteroviridae.
