Abstract (AB)	Sugarcane mild mosaic virus (SCMMV) was diagnosed by immunosorbent electron microscopy (IEM) of partially purified preparations of small amounts of cane leaves. It was detected in twenty-three out of one hundred and twenty-five noble cane varieties examined in the Mauritius germplasm collection and in two commercial hybrids. The exact syndrome of SCMMV was not established. It was found associated with chlorotic striate symptoms in noble canes, as well as in canes without apparent symptoms, in those with ladder-like lesions and those with typical manifestations of chlorotic streak disease. Further work on this newly reported disease is therefore warranted.
