) and Rhopalosiphum padi L. were intensively found on weeds in the potato fields. Potato leaf samples showing yellow spots and patterns, and then severe chlorosis were detected by serological (DAS ELISA: Double antibody sandwich-Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay) and biological indexing methods. AMV was detected in Physalis angulata by the rate of 15.3% in 2014. Although, AMV infection was found in low levels in symptomatic potato plants in 2014 and 2015 (5.4% and 4.6%), AMV is important in Amik plain due to the virus can be transmitted by vector aphids to weeds and other crops mainly growing in Amik plain such as alfalfa, tomato and pepper or from these sources to potatoes. AMV infection began to be affected potatoes grown in Hatay during the last few years. Seed tubers infected by AMV are thought to be the source of the virus infection of potatoes growing in Hatay-Turkey. For monitoring of the status of the virus in potato fields over the years, the studies on AMV infection on potatoes, weeds and other hosts are in progress.
