- Abstract
A field visit was conducted in March 2002 to identify viruses infecting the faba bean (Vicia faba) crop in four governorates (Fayoum, Beni Suef, El-Nobareia and Bihera) in Egypt. A total of 71 faba bean samples with symptoms of viral infection (leaf rolling, yellowing and mosaic) were collected. These were tested at the Virology Laboratory of ICARDA, Syria, for seven viruses using the tissue-blot immunoassay procedure. Three specific monoclonal antibodies were used to detect faba bean necrotic yellow virus. Serological tests showed that Beet Western Yellow Virus, an aphid-transmitted and seedborne virus that was identified in 89% of samples tested, was the most common virus.
