Özet
Surveys have been conducted in stone fruit plantations during early spring and autumn between the years of 2000 and 2002 in Kahramanmaras district of Turkey. A total of 248 plant samples having symptoms or symptom-like appearance were collected and tested for the presence of Prunus necrotic ring spot virus (PNRSV), Prune dwarf virus (PDV) and Plum pox virus (PPV) by using DAS-ELISA. ELISA tests showed that 12.86% of total samples were infected with one or more viruses. The most common virus was PDV, which had a mean infection rate of 6.45%. It was followed by PNRSV and PPV with a same infection rate of 0.40%. This is the first record for PPV on cherries in Turkey.
