Abstract
Citrus mosaic virus (CiMV), a strain of Satsuma dwarf virus (SDV), was frequently detected on diseased citrus trees in Wakayama Prefecture using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis. Moreover, we surveyed 308 citrus trees from 64 orchards using an immunochromatographic assay to detect SDV. A total of 114 trees from 38 orchards tested positive for SDV. CiMV was also frequently detected on these trees.
