title: Virus-infections of wild hops in Hamburg.
abstract: More than 200 samples from wild hops were collected in the city of Hamburg and tested for the presence of PNRV/ApMV, ArMV, HLV and HMV. All viruses were detected, but in case of the ilarviruses (ApMV/PNRV) no reaction was found in DAS-ELISA using ApMV antiserum, indicating, that, different to earlier results mainly from wild hops of southern areas of Germany, neither A nor I-types were present, but only C-type corresponding to the cherry strains of PNRV. Compared to results from escaped and cultivated hops, infestation was rather low but differing to some extent from data obtained for wild hops in other, mainly non-urban regions.
