Monitoring of stone fruit viruses in Serbia

The results of the survey on the presence of seven viruses (cherry necrotic rusty mottle virus, cherry leaf roll virus, cherry rasp leaf virus, tomato black ring virus, tomato ringspot virus, prunus necrotic ringspot virus and apple mosaic virus) infecting stone fruits are presented in this paper. A total number of 107 samples from mother blocks and nurseries in 30 locations were collected and analyzed. Samples were analyzed with ELISA and RT-PCR methods. Cherry necrotic rusty mottle virus was detected in six samples (one sweet and one sour cherry, two plums and two apricots). No other viruses were detected in analyzed samples.
