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.

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.File in questo prodotto:
