First report of Citrus exocortis viroid on Solanum jasminoides in Austria


In September 2009, the presence of Citrus exocortis viroid (Pospiviroid, CEVd) was detected on asymptomatic Solanum jasminoides plants which were growing in a commercial nursery in Oberösterreich, Austria. The plant material originally came from a German breeding company. This is the first time that CEVd is reported from Austria.
