Zusammenfassung:	A method is provided for isolating and purifying viruses from a plant host which is applicable on a large scale. This method is more efficient than virus isolation methods described in the prior art. In general, the present method comprises the steps of homogenizing a plant or plant tissue to produce a green juice, adjusting the pH of the green juice and heating it, separating the target virus species from other components of the green juice by one or more cycles of centrifugation, suspension, and ultrafiltration, and finally purifying virus particles by such procedures as polyethylene glycol-precipitation.
