Abstract
Summary A survey of the main papaya ( Carica papaya L.) production fields in Venezuela during 1997, indicated that crops were heavily affected with various virus‐like symptoms. A total of 745 samples from papaya plants showing symptoms suggestive of virus infection were collected and analysed using electron microscopy and enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Papaya ringspot virus (PRSV) and Papaya mild yellowing virus (PMYV) were the most frequently found viruses, which also occurred, in mixed infections. Rhabdovirus‐like particles were found only in samples collected in Distrito Federal (D.F). Papaya mosaic virus (papMV) and Tomato spotted wild virus (TSW V) were not detected during the survey.
