Isolation, identification and characterisation of three viruses from Pisum sativum in South Africa

Three virus isolates from pea plants (Pisum sativum) from different regions in South Africa were identified and are discussed in this thesis. A number of techniques were used to identify the viruses including serology, electron microscopy, cytopathological studies, aphid transmission tests, host range studies and molecular-based techniques such as PCR, cloning and sequencing and sequence comparisons.
