Creator Reddy, D V R

Description One ol the important prerequisites to
the management of virus diseases is the
precise identification o f the C~USa~geIn t.
Diagnosis of viral diseases n3w demands
a wide variety of skills which are constantly
being improved as a result of rapid
technological advances. By the introduction
o f increasinglv sensitive serological
methods and transmission electron rnicro-
*copy, i t is now pomible to detect viruses
that are present in plant tissues in extremely
low concentrations. Many early reports on
the occurrence of viral diseases have been
largely based on visual symptoms and
host range. External symptoms of diseases
associated with spiroplasma, rickertsiae,
mvcoplesma-like organisms and even
nutrient deficiency symptoms have been
confused with viral diseases. In addition.
external symptoms produced by viruses
can b4 greatlv influenced bv such factors
ss genotype, plant age, environment and
strain of virus present.
