Diaporthe vaccinii(DIAPVA)
Hosts
Important note about the classification of host plants in GD:
Categories have been assigned by the EPPO Secretariat on the basis of available data at the time of entry. They correspond to a qualitative evaluation of the importance of the host plant for the pest concerned and remain indicative only.
Further explanation of categories is available in the guide.

| Organism | Type | |
|---|---|---|
| Vaccinium angustifolium (VACAN) | Major host | |
* Gabler J, Kačergius A, Jovaišienė Z (2004) Detection of Phomopsis vaccinii on blueberry and cranberry in Europe by direct tissue blot immunoassay and plate‐trapped antigen ELISA. Journal of Phytopathology 152(11‐12), 630-632. -------- Confirmed host. | ||
| Vaccinium ashei (VACAH) | Major host | |
* Polashock JJ, Kramer M (2006) Resistance of blueberry cultivars to Botryosphaeria stem blight and Phomopsis twig blight. HortScience 41(6), 1457-1461. -------- Confirmed host. ------- A recent taxonomic study separated V. ashei from V. virgatum (Weakley et al., 2024). It was not possible to determine to which of these species host records made before this separation related to, and both V. virgatum and V. ashei were considered as hosts for this pest (EPPO Secretariat, 2025-04). | ||
| Vaccinium corymbosum (VACCO) | Major host | |
* Farr DF, Castlebury LA, Rossman AY (2002) Morphological and molecular characterization of Phomopsis vaccinii and additional isolates of Phomopsis from blueberry and cranberry in the eastern United States. Mycologia 94(3), 494-504. -------- Confirmed host. | ||
| Vaccinium macrocarpon (VACMA) | Major host | |
* Farr DF, Castlebury LA, Rossman AY (2002) Morphological and molecular characterization of Phomopsis vaccinii and additional isolates of Phomopsis from blueberry and cranberry in the eastern United States. Mycologia 94(3), 494-504. -------- Confirmed host. | ||
| Vaccinium oxycoccos (VACOX) | Major host | |
* Gabler J, Kačergius A, Jovaišienė Z (2004) Detection of Phomopsis vaccinii on blueberry and cranberry in Europe by direct tissue blot immunoassay and plate‐trapped antigen ELISA. Journal of Phytopathology 152(11‐12), 630-632. -------- Confirmed host. | ||
| Vaccinium virgatum (VACVG) | Major host | |
