Resumen

Plantago asiatica mosaic virus (PlAMV) was detected in Costa Rica infecting lily plants showing foliar chlorotic and necrotic streaking. Virus identity was established by TEM, sequencing and ELISA. Pathogenicity was confirmed on Nicotiana benthamiana by mechanical inoculation, and PlAMV was detected by ELISA and RT-PCR.
