  • Notes: A survey of recently discovered vitiviruses was performed on 113 Croatian autochthonous grapevine cultivars from the national collection “Jazbina” using one-step RT-PCR. The presence of grapevine virusH(GVH) was confirmed in nine (7.9%) cultivars and grapevine virus G in eight (7.1%), While the presence of grapevine viruses I and J were not detected. GVH was transmitted by the vine mealybug (Planococcus ficus) from a source plant to grapevine seedlings.
