Cytological changes occurring after infection by Abutilon Mosaic Virus (AbMV) have been investigated in the host plants Abutilon sellovianum Rgl., Malva parviflora L., Malva silvestris L., and Sida micrantha Schr. Two types of virus‐like inclusions were found in different tissues: particles of 16–18 nm in diameter and elongated filaments with 6–8 nm in diameter. The particles are detectable in the nuclei ( Abutilon sellovianum, Malva spec.) and cytoplasm ( Malva spec.) of cells in the bundle area, and the filaments accumulate in the nuclei ( Sida micrantha ) and the plastids ( Malva spec.) of leaf mesophyll cells.
