Raspberry Ringspot Virus
(RpRSV)


RpRSV has been detected on strawberry, raspberry, gooseberry, black currant, plum and grape plants and is particularly involved in cherry diseases known as ´Pfeffinger´ in Switzerland, ´Eckelrader´ in Holland and European cherry rasp leaf.

On sweet cherry symptoms are unevenly distributed rosettes of small, tickened leaves with no fruit set on atrophied shoots. This uneven distribution in the host causes some problems for the detection.

Some plum cultivars like ´Green Gage´ and ´Ruth Gerstetter´ were found especially susceptible and develop severe decline.
