A limited survey was conducted to identify viruses infecting white clover (Trifolium repens) and other forage legumes in Idaho. Of 93 samples collected in 11 counties, 48 tested positive by ELISA for one or more viruses, including alfalfa mosaic, clover yellow mosaic, clover yellow vein, red clover vein mosaic, and white clover mosaic.
