Soybean stunt virus (SSV) was newly isolated in Korea from naturally infected soybeans (Glycine max). The main symptoms caused by this virus on soybean cultivars are crinkling, mild mottling and reduction in plant size. This virus induced local lesion on the inoculated leaves of Chenopodium amaranticolor, C quinoa and Vigna sinensis, and mosaic symptoms on Nicotiana tabacum (Bright yellow, KY-57). The virus was inactivated at 60C, and was infectious at dilution of $10^3$. Extract juice became infective 3 days later at room temperature. The virus was transmitted by green peach apid (Myzus persicae). This virus closely is related serologically to cucumber mosaic virus. The virus particles observed in the electron microscopy were spherical types of 30mm in diameter.

A virus named Cymbidium mild mosaic virus(Cy MMV), was mechanically transmitted to Chenopodium amaranticolor from the leaves of Cymbidium with mild mosaic symptoms. The virus was cultured in C. amaranticolor, in which it produced local chlorotic and ring spots, followed by systemic vein clearing with distortion. CyMMV infected 7 out of 35 species of plants. In C. amaranticolor juice infectivity was lost by heating at $90^{\circ}C$ for 10 miuntes, and by aging at$20^{\circ}C$ for 60 days, and by diluting at $10^{-6}$ when bioassayed on C. amaranticolor. CyMMV was not transmitted by Myzus persicae. The virus was purified after clarification of homogenized C. amaranticolor leaf tissues with chloroform, by differential centrifugation followed by sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Electron microscopic examination of purified preparation showed spherical particles of 28nm in diameter. The UV absorption spectrum of purified preparation was typical of u nucleoprotein (max. at 261nm. min. at 243nm), and showed 260/280=1.72 and max/min=1.26. The value of the sedimentation coefficient of the virus was S20.w=126. In gel-diffusion tests, CyMMV antiserum reacted with CarMV, but not with any of four other viruses (BBWV, CRSV, CMV, TBRV) having similar particles and properties in vitro. In ultra-thin sections of CyMMV infected tissues, a large number of virus particles were found in the cytoplasm of mesophyll cells and in xylem vessels.

Since 1998, mass mortality of the Japanese flounder has widely occurred in the south and west coastal area of Korea. A new serotype birnavirus was isolated during the investigation of the cause of the disease. By the electromicroscopic examination, the isolated virus particles appeared hexagonal and unenveloped with an average diameter 52 to 56 nm. Birnavirus specific fragment was amplified by RT-PCR. High yield of virus (10.3 to 10.8 log $TCID_{50}/ml$) was produced in CHSE-214. RTG-2 and RTE-2 cells. Typical birnavirus CPE was observed in these cells. On the contrary, the virus CPE was not shown in the FHM and EPC cells. By a cross-neutralization test with IPNV Ab, IPNV Sp, IPNV VR-299 and MBV Y6, the isolated virus was closely related to marine birnavirus (MBV).

The poliovirus is a small, and non-enveloped virus. The RNA genome of poliovirus is continuous, linear, and has a single open reading frame. This polyprotein precursor is cleaved proteolytically to yield mature products. Most of the cleavages occur by viral protease. The mature proteins derived from the P1 polyprotein precursor are the structural components of the viral capsid. The initial cleavage by 2A protease is indirectly involved in the cleavage of a cellular protein p220, a subunit of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4F. This cleavage leads to the shut-off of cap-dependent host cell translation, and allows poliovirus to utilize the host cell machinery exclusively for translation its own RNA, which is initiated by internal ribosome entry via a cap-independent mechanism. The functional role of the 2B, 2C and 2BC proteins are not much known. 2B, 2C, 2BC and 3CD proteins are involved in the replication complex of virus induced vesicles. All newly synthesized viral RNAs are linked with VPg. VPg is a 22 amino acid polypeptide which is derived from 3AB. The 3C and 3CD are protease and process most of the cleavage sites of the polyprotein precursor. The 3C protein is also involved in inhibition of RNA polymerase II and III mediated transcription by converting host transcription factor to an inactive form. The 3D is the RNA dependent RNA polymerase. It is known that poliovirus replication follows the general pattern of positive strand RNA virus. Plus strand RNA is transcribed into complementary minus strand RNA that, in turn, is transcribed for the synthesis of plus strand RNA is transcribed into complementary minus strand RNA that, in turn, is transcribed for the synthesis of plus strand RNA strands. Poliovirus RNA synthesis occurs in a membranous environment but how the template RNA and proteins required for RNA replication assemble in the membrane is not much known. The RNA requirements for the encapsidation of the poliovirus genome (packaging signal) are totally unknown. The poliovirus infection cycle lasts approximately 6 hours.

In March 1997, a new rhabdovirus was isolated from moribund cultured Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus in sea water tank and cage culture systems in Kyung-Nam and Chun-Nam province, Korea. At temperature $15^{\circ}C$ the virus replicated and induced cytopathic effects (CPE), which progressed to eventual cytolysis, in susceptible cell lines, including RTG-2 and EPC. The CHES-214 cell line was refractory. Virus particles were bullet-shaped and measured $70nm{\times}100$ to 150 nm in size. The isolate was sensitive to pH 3, to diethyl ether, and to heat ($50^{\circ}C$ 5 min, $60^{\circ}C$ 1 min). Viral replication was not inhibited by $10^{-4}$ M 5-iododeoxyuridine. Virus infectivity was reduced by anti-HRV (8401-H) rabbit serum, but can not reduced by antisera against infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV), chum salmon reovirus (CSV), retrovirus of salmonid (RVS) and infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV). HRV virus antigen was detected by fluorescent antibody test (FAT) in the cytoplasm of infected EPC cell. Purified isolates virions were composed of: polymerase (L), glycoprotein (G), nucleoprotein (N) and 2 matrix proteins (M1 and M2). Based upon their relative mobilities, the estimated molecular weights of the proteins were: L, 160 kDa; G, 55 kDa; N, 45 kDa; M1, 26 kDa; and M2, 22 kDa.

In detecting pathogeuic viruses in water sample, polymerase-chain-reaction (PCR) amplification was uscd. In order lo obtain the intact viral particlc, five concentration techniques were compared and an improved procedure was developed with some modifications. Among them, adsorption-elution~EG precipitation and flocculatio~~iultracentriEugation were more efficient than others with thc detection limit of 10 PFU $ml^{-1}$. By the additional step removing inhibitory compounds for PCR reaction, the purity of the concentrated sample was improved and the detection limit was lowered by one order (to 1 PFU $ml^{-1}$. To examine the availability of the optimized procedure for field surveys, the distributions of enterovirus in Han River were estimated using the novel procedure. Seventy-five percentage (618) of sewagc samples and twenty percentage (2110) of river water samples were positive for enterovirus. These results indicate that adsorption-elutionPEG precipitation by PCR method is useful for the prompt and handy monitoring of viral contaminaiton in water environment and pathogenic viruses are widely distributed in water environments of Seoul.

A noncytopathic bovine viral diarrhea virus(NC BVDV) strain isolated and purified from persistently infected primary bovine fetal lung(BFL) cells was studied by biophysical methods. The buoyant density of particles of the NC BVDV strain was shown to be between 1,090 and $1,114g/cm^3$ and the maximum virus infectivity occured at $1,098g/cm^3$. Immunoelectron microscopic examination by using the partially purified virus revealed regular spherical particles 30~80nm in diameter. Differences in the genomic size of cytopathic and noncytopathic BVDV from infected cells were not found. A comparison of viral proteins of a noncytopathic and cytopathic strain(NADL) by immunoprecipitation using monoclonal antibody indicated that NC BVDV, compared to cytopathic NADL, was cell associated.
