Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) was isolated in Syria from naturally infected wheat plants (Triticum aestivum L. subsp. aestivum) infested with wheat leaf curl mite (Aceria tulipae (Keifer)) and showing stunting, severe leaf rolling and yellow spotting. The virus was identified by host-range studies and serology. Antiserum against purified Syrian isolate of WSMV (SW1-93) was produced in a rabbit and used for WSMV detection. This is the first report of natural occurrence of WSMV affecting wheat in Syria
