Samples (shoots with leaves) were collected from symptomatic plants in the orchards of Afyon, Ankara, Amasya, Burdur, Canakkale Isparta, Izmir, Tokat and Yalova provinces. A total of 240 sour and sweet cherry samples were tested for the presence of Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV), Plum pox virus (PPV) and Prunus necrotic rinA, spot virus (PNRSV) by using RT-PCR and tested by DAS-ELISA for Prune dwarf virus (PDV). The results revealed that 31.7% of all samples were infected with one or more viruses. The most common virus was PDV with an infection rate of 25.0%. PDV was followed by ACLSV and PNRSV with infection rates of 6.7% and 3.7%, respectively. Mixed infections of PDV+PNRSV (3 samples) and PDV+ACLSV (6 samples) also were detected. No infections with PPV were determined from the sour and sweet cherry samples collected from all provinces except Tokat, which was not tested for that virus.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessPrunus aviumPrunus cerasusvirussurveydetectionConference Object79590991210.17660/ActaHortic.2008.795.1472-s2.0-58049217365Q4WOS:000260482900147N/A
