Chlorotic and necrotic spots, yellow mottle, and vein banding leaf symptoms were seen on two honeysuckle vines in the Botanical Garden, University of British Columbia. Electron microscopic examination showed the presence of rhabdovirus and carlavirus particles. This is the first report of a rhabdovirus in honeysuckle. The carlavirus may be honeysuckle latent virus, although it was transmitted to only three of its nine reported herbaceous hosts, and it was not transmitted by the reported aphid vector, Hydaphis foeniculi . Both types of virus particles were seen in mesophyll, phloem parenchyma and companion cells of honeysuckle. The rhabdovirus was not transmitted to any other host and, in honeysuckle, was found only in the Spring. As its concentration declined, the number of carlavirus particles increased.
