Resumo

Summary The occurrence, geographical distribution and rate of incidence of Grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV) were surveyed in 44 vineyards and nurseries in different regions of Iran. GFLV infection was confirmed by mechanical transmission onto herbaceous hosts, DAS-ELISA and IC-RT-PCR. Two thermal conditions, as well as meristem culture were used to produce virus-free material. Results confirmed the presence of GFLV in Bavanat, Shiraz, Jahrom, Maymand, Urmia, Karaj and Naghadeh. Both sanitation protocols significantly reduce the level of GFLV infection, however, a combination of meristem culture and thermotherapy produced 100 % virus-free material from the cultivars ‘Bidaneh Sefid’ and ‘Shahroodi’.
