Passiflora latent carlavirus (PLV) was detected by PAS-ELISA in 15 spe
cies/hybrids or cultivars of Passiflora with mosaic, mottle or blotch
leaf symptoms, from botanical and germplasm collections in the UK and
The Netherlands surveyed in 1992 and 1993. A single lesion isolate of
PLV induced leaf chlorosis in inoculated apparently virus-free P. caer
ulea. This is the first report of PLV in the UK.
