Abstract:	The virus was isolated from naturally infected mungbean (Vigna radiata), black gram (V. mungo) and soyabean and plants in the families Aizoaceae, Amaranthaceae, Chenopodiaceae, Leguminosae, Pedaliaceae and Solanaceae. It was transmitted by the beetle Monolepta signata and by mechanical inoculation. Its properties include dilution end-point 10-9-10-10, thermal inactivation point 85-90 deg C for 10 min and a longevity in vitro of 6-9 wk at 20 deg . Purified preparations had a UV light absorption spectrum typical of nucleoprotein components with a A260/A280 value of c. 1.55, and contained isometric particles (diam. c. 28 nm). The virus was serologically identical with BLMV previously reported from India but did not react with antisera against some other beetle-transmitted viruses.
