Petruschke, M., Rissler, D., & Schneller, H. 2011 Ahornschmierlaus Phenaccocus aceris als Überträger des Little Cherry Virus-2 an Süßkirsche in Baden-Württemberg nachgewiesen (Apple mealybug Phenacoccus aceris Proved as a vector of the Little Cherry Virus 2 on Sweet Cherry in Baden-Wuerttemberg. Erwerbs Obstbau 53(1):11-13

Notes: The Apple mealybug Phenacoccus aceris was verified as the vector of the Little Cherry Virus 2 (LChV-2) in Baden-Wuerttemberg. However, this does not exclude the participation of even more different vectors. Because the Apple mealybug is more spread than presumed as of yet, this vector should be specifically controlled as well as fought in cherry orchards. If planting new cherry orchards must be strictly adhered to it virus-free, matte certificated plans, so that in areas free from epidemic to Little cherry as in the "old country" can be avoided.
