Typing of Plum pox virus (PPV) strains in Cyprus
Australasian Plant Disease Notes 2 (1), 29-30
Abstract: A survey was conducted in the main stone fruit producing areas of Cyprus during 2004-05 in order to determine the identity and distribution of Plum pox virus strains using serological and molecular methods. A total of 72 peach, apricot and plum tree samples were analysed by ELISA and RT-PCR and results showed that PPV-M was the predominant strain, while PPV-D was identified for the first time in the island.
