| Abstract | Sharka (plum pox) has been first described by Atanasov (1932/3) as a new disease on the plums in Bulgaria. Only in the summer of 1989 this disease was detected on the peaches in the eastern part of the country (district Varna). New cases of PPV-infected peach trees were confirmed recently in 1997 through DAS ELISA-screenig in an experimental plantation near town of Pavlikeni (district Veliko Tarnovo) in the central part of North Bulgaria. New information is presented about PPV-infection on single peach trees located in Dragalevtsi (quarter of the capital Sofia) and also near Pavlikeni. Clear sharka symptoms were manifested on the leaves of the infected trees in the first location. Pale-yellow rings and arcs were observed on the green fruit surface in the orchard near Pavlikeni. The causal agent was proven by means of DAS - ELISA with polyclonalantibodies. The results from DASI - ELISA (M and D strain specific antibodies were used) show that the infectious agent belongs to the group of M – strains. |
