In this study, the infection of Bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV) was investigated in Burdur province which has a significant contribution bean production of Turkey. Firstly, surveys were conducted in bean production areas and leaf samples showing virus like symptoms were collected in the region. The presence of BYMV in the collected bean leaves was analyzed by biological and serological methods. A total 443 samples were collected from field and all samples were tested for BYMV using spesific antiserum in a double antibody sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA). As a result of DAS-ELISA, 97 out of 443 samples (21.89%) were infected with BYMV. DAS-ELISA positive samples were later inoculated into indicator plants and their symptoms observed. As a result of the study, BYMV infections were detected in the leaf samples in bean growing areas in Burdur province.
