This article cites a study that described lolium (L.) mottle virus (LMV). A previously unrecorded virus with isometric particles 27 nanometer diameter had been isolated from L. perenne and Cynosurus (C.) cristatus from Eire and from C. cristatus from Yorkshire, England. Then this was named LMV. The virus could be inoculated into cultivars of wheat, oats, barley and rye, and Lagurus ovatus. It was symptomless in L. multiflorum and Phleum pratense. Some properties of LMV were reported. The virus, though readily sap transmissible, was not transmitted by two Oulema species or by three species of aphids.
