A survey of the virus diseases of economic plants in Montserrat Urgent plant pest and disease problems in the Caribbean. Proceedings - Port-of-Spain (Trinidad y Tobago) IICA 1982 - p. 155-160 - Publicación Miscelánea (IICA) no. 378 -534-5391 .

A survey of cultivated plants throughout Montserrat resulted in the identification of a number of viruses. The viruses identified were: Squash mosaic virus in contaloupe, pumpkin and squash; potato virus Y (PVY) in peppers and tomato: bean yellow mosaic and cowpea mosaic viruses in red kidney beans and string beans and cowpea mosaic viruses in cowpea and broad bean. Other viruses that were previously identified on the basis of field symptomatology were confirmed by host range and serology. There were no viruses recovered from sea island cotton sweet potato. The sap extracted from indicator plants that showed systemic symptoms was used in serodiagnostic assays for virus identification. This is the first attempt to positively identify the viruses of economic plants in Montserrat
