Cucumber Mosaic Virus obtained from Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Iz zaraženih biljaka paprike (Capsicum annuum L.) uzgajanih u okolici Bijeljine (Bosna i Hercegovina) izoliran je dosta nestabilan virusni izolat koji pripada skupini cucumovirusi. Po svojim biološkim svojstvima, tj. krugu eksperimentalnih domaćina i njihovoj reakciji, te svojstvima u sirovom soku, virus je sličan tipičnim sojevima virusa mozaika krastavca (VMK; cucumber mosaic virus), dok njegovo ponašanje u serološkim pokusima dvostruke radijalne imunodifuzije ukazuje na to da pripada nestabilnim izolatima toga virusa.From infected pepper (Capsicum annuurn L.) plants grown in the surroundings of the town of Bijeljina a rather unstable cucumovirus isolate was obtained. Concerning the host range reactions and its stability in sap, the virus was similar to the typical strains of cucumber mosiac virus (CMV). Its behaviour in experiments of double radial immunodiffusion showed the affiliation to unstable CMV isolates
