Eight sweet pepper plant samples showing viral and viral like symptoms were collected from open field and used for detecting viral infections through biological, serological and biochemical methods. DAS-ELISA, DBIA and TPIA have relative effectiveness for detecting parenchymal viruses (CMV, TMV and PVY) and vascular virus (TYLCV), and the DAS-ELISA and TPIA are found more efficient (87.5%) than DBIA (78.1%). The examined leaf samples were found co-infected with different mixed types of viruses including (CMV, TMV, PVY and TYLCV), (CMV, PVY and TYLCV), (TMV, PVY and TYLCV) and (TMV and TYLCV) that enhanced different degrees of severe external symptoms. There are 2 out of 8 samples infected with Phytoplasma sp. by Diene’s stain and PCR using generated 16S rDNA gene primer with expected amplicon size of 680 bp. The co-infections with various viruses and phytoplasma has 12.5% frequency that reduced the levels of protein content, peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase activity quantitatively and qualitatively in 2 samples in comparison with other mixed categories. The sweet pepper plant can be considered as a reservoir for parenchymal and vascular viruses and Phytoplasma sp. due to the synergistic and antagonistic effects causing unusual and unpredictable biological and epidemiological, viral and viral-like via host biochemical effects.
