Abstract

Antisera were made to red currant spoon leaf virus (SLV), an isolate of the Scottish raspberry ringspot virus (RRV), and two virus isolates from Eckelrade-diseased cherry trees (EV). Different virus isolates, including one from Belgium, were tested against these antisera. The results indicate that we are dealing with a group of virus isolates with different antigenic properties. SLV is very closely related to RRV, being undoubtedly a strain of this virus. Dutch EV isolates differ from SLV and RRV and from each other, the Belgian isolate being closely related to one of the Dutch EV isolates. The serological differences found do not correspond with the geographical distances between the localities where the viruses were collected.

Samenvatting

Antisera werden bereid tegen het lepelbladvirus van rode bes (SLV), een isolatie van het Schotse “raspberry ringspot”-virus (RRV) en twee virusisolaties uit kersebomen met Eckelraderziekte (EV). Met behulp van deze antisera werden verschillende virusisolaties getoetst, waaronder één uit België van kers met Eckelraderziekte. De resultaten zijn vermeld in de tabellen 1 en 2. Ze duiden erop, dat we te maken hebben met een groep van virusisolaties met verschillende antigene eigenschappen. SLV is zeer nauw verwant aan RRV en is ongetwijfeld een stam van dit virus. Nederlandse EV-isolaties verschillen zowel van SLV en RRV, als van elkaar. De Belgische isolatie is nauw verwant aan één van de Nederlandse EV-isolaties. De grootte van de gevonden verschillen correspondeert niet met de geografische afstand tussen de plaatsen waar de virusisolaties werden verzameld.
