Abstract
Flower bud and leaf samples collected from a wide range of native Nort h American Vaccinium populations were tested for the presence of blueb erry shoestring virus (BBSSV) using the enzyme-linked immunosorbant as say. The highest incidence was found in Michigan (14%), although a few positive samples also were found in Virginia, New Jersey, Maine, Onta rio, and Quebec. Of seven species tested, only V. corymbosum L. and V. angustifolium Ait. were infected with BBSSV.
