The virus is transmitted by aphids that inject viral particles into the phloem of the host during the feeding process. BYDVs remain restricted to the phloem tissue and cause cytopathological alterations that ultimately lead to complete obliteration of the infected cell. Phloem cells are considered infected if they contain one or more of the following inclusions: Viral particles, filamentous material, virus-induced vesicles. In this project an in situ immunolocalization assay and an in situ hybridization assay were developed to determine the subcellular accumulation of two viral proteins, the coat protein and a single strand RNA binding protein (17 kDa protein), and the viral RNA. Viral coat protein was first detected in the cytoplasm surrounding clusters of filamentous material that was shown to contain viral RNA.
