In conclusion, virus neutralization test could not differentiate bovine herpesvirus wpe I (BHV -l) from other strains of herepesviruses; on the contrary, RFLP and RAPD assays could be used to differentiate the virus. Thus, both techniques can be applied for the molecular epidemiology of BHV -l....

After 15 days. systemic symptoms appeared in the newly formed leaves in the form of vein banding, severe mosaic, yellowing, malformation, and leaves wilting. Histopathological studies of CMV-infected squash leaves showed changes such as compact mesophyll, disintegrated and less lignified metaxylem, slight upward blistering of leaf blade, closed stom...
