Distribution details in Serbia
Pest status declared by NPPO: Present, not widely distributed and not under official control (2025-09)
EPPO Reporting Service (2009/217) : in September 2007, mild leaf yellowing symptoms were observed on 18 elm trees near the villages of Srednjevo, Ljubičevo and Šuvajić (north-east Serbia). Molecular tests confirmed the presence of ‘Ca. Phytoplasma ulmi’ in samples of U. minor (from Srednjevo and Ljubičevo) and in samples of U. laevis (from Šuvajić).
EPPO Reporting Service (2025/206) : present in elm forests but does not cause permanent damage to trees.

------- High diversity of EY phytoplasmas in elms trees in Serbia (as in France and Czech Republic) might suggest that 'Ca. P. ulmi' originates from Europe.
