Abstract

Garlic yellow streak virus (GYSV) was first reported in New Zealand by Mohamed and Young in 1981 as a new potyvirus distinct from Onion yellow dwarf virus (OYDV) and Leek yellow stripe virus (LYSV), based on host range and serological differences. Recent examination of garlic showing the typical yellow streak symptoms, using serological and molecular methods, clearly identifies the associated virus as a strain of LYSV.
