Resumen:
Comparative tests using inmunosorbent electron microscopy
plus decoration and ELISA with antibodies
against Garlic virus A (GarV-A) and Garlic virus C
(GarV-C) coat proteins showed that they specifically
recognize the respective viruses. On this basis, the
GarV-A antiserum was used in DAS-ELISA tests to
study the distribution of GarV-A in different regions of
Argentina. A total of 2655 samples, representing 115
garlic fields were analyzed. GarV-A was detected in
64%, 51%, 43% and 35% of samples collected in San
Juan, Mendoza, Córdoba and Buenos Aires Provinces,
respectively. Positive samples were not found in plants
from Santa Cruz Province. Distribution among different
garlic cultivars showed that this virus was present in
33%, 46%, 53%, 70% and 43% of plants belonging to
cvs Colorado, Chino, Violeta Francés, Blanco and
Rosado Paraguayo, respectively. Negative results were
obtained in samples of cvs Castaño-INTA and Violeta
Santacruceño.
