Some properties of Peanut Clump, a newly discovered virus
Thouvenel J.C., Dollet M., Fauquet C.. 1976. Annals of Applied Biology, 84 : p. 311-320.
A mechanically transmissible soil-borne virus causing peanut clump disease in Upper Volta is described. It infected mainly species of Chenopodiaceae and was propagated in Chenopodium amaranticolor. Infectivity was lost from sap of C. amaranticolor after to min at 64°C, and after dilution to 10-5 but not 10-4. A purification procedure is described. The particles are rod-shaped and of two predominant lengths, 190 and 245 nm. The virus is not serologically related to tobacco rattle, pea early-browning, or soil-borne wheat mosaic viruses, or to a virus associated with a rhizomania-like disease of beet.
