Abstract

A brief account is given on the situation of Sharka disease in the Mediterranean countries. The recent developments in the field of virus characterization and diagnosis, epidemiology, genetic resistance and control measures are briefly reviewed and analyzed. The necessity to intensify and extend the territory monitoring activity and the use of certified plant propagating material of stone fruits is strongly recommended.
