BSMV has been detected in 11 different governerates by observation of symptoms characteristic of the virus. Leaves of infected plants were chlorotic due to linear light green, yellow or white striping mosaic symptoms. Serological identification of BSMV infection by ElISA has indicated that the incidence of the virus in the fields surveyed ranged from 5.5% in kafer El-Sheikh governerate to 22.2% in Alexandria governerate for wheat, and from 0% in Alexandria governerate to 12.5% in El Beheira governerate for barley. |
