| Abstract:
Simultaneously with the investigation of PPV distribution and the verification of the strains occurring in the strongly infected plum tree alleys and orchards in Slovakia, also some bushes and trees occurring there were tested. We used ELISA test to detect the PPV in Sambucus nigra L., Rosa canina L., Prunus avium L., Acer sp. and Tilia sp. The extracts prepared from the leaves of R. canina, S. nigra, Prunus avium and Acer sp. reacted positively to the PPV antibody (Loewe Biochemica GmbH). The aphids present on positively reacting trees and bushes were also tested by ELISA. The presence of PPV was detected in bodies of the aphids Aphis sambuci L., Macrosiphum rosae L. and Chaetophorella aceris L. | |
