First report of soybean dwarf virus infecting lentil and Beet western yellows virus infecting lentil and chickpea crops in Ethiopia
Plant Disease 83 (6), 589-589
Abstract: During 1998, chickpea (Cicer arietinum) and lentil (Lens culinaris) plants grown in Ethiopia were surveyed for virus diseases. Of 5,427 lentil and 3,836 chickpea samples more than 20% were virus infected. The presence of beet western yellows virus (up to 40%), faba bean necrotic yellows nanovirus (FBNYV), and broad bean wilt fabavirus was demonstrated in chickpeas, as well as Pea seed-borne mosaic virus (up to 58%), FBNYV, broad bean stain comovirus, bean yellow mosaic potyvirus, and cucumber mosaic cucumovirus in lentil.
