Comments
EPPO Reporting Service (1998/22) : although grapevine yellows symptoms have been seen in Slovenia, these seem to be "bois noir" and not "flavescence dorée". Though S. titanus, vector of the latter, does occur in Slovenia, it was not found in the area where yellows symptoms were seen.

EPPO Reporting Service (2003/152) : only in western part of Slovenia, since 1990s.

EPPO Reporting Service (2009/195) : present in all grapevine-growing regions of Slovenia, but submitted to compulsory treatments.
