The fruits were imported from Chile, where the occurrence of Plum pox virus (PPV) was first reported in apricots, plums, and peaches by Rosales et al. (1997). Extract from symptomatic fruit, examined by transmission electron microscopy, revealed the presence of elongated and flexuous particles characteristic of potyvirus. Sap from three symptomatic fruits reacted in DAS-ELISA with polyclonal antiserum against PPV (BIOREBA AG, Switzerland). Total RNA was extracted from three symptomatic fruits according to Toth et al. (2002) and subjected to one-step reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) with the pair of primers PV1 and WCIEN-sense (Maciel et al. 2011), which amplifies a fragment of approximately 700 nt containing part of the capsid protein gene and the 3′ untranslated region of potyviruses. The amplicons were directly sequenced in both directions at Macrogen (Seoul, South Korea). Comparison of the nucleotide (645 nt) and deduced amino acid (215 aa) sequences of the three amplicons (GenBank Accession Nos. KT595211, KT595212, and KT595213) showed 99% and 100% identity, respectively, with the corresponding sequences of a Chilean isolate of PPV (AF440741). Compared with corresponding sequences for other PPV isolates identities were 99% and 98 to 100%, respectively. This is the first finding in Brazil of this potyvirus, which is a quarantine pathogen. Imports of peach fruits infected with this potyvirus is a risk, albeit with a low probability of introduction of the virus into peach plants or any other Prunus sp. grown in the country. Gildow et al. (2004) showed experimentally that when Myzus persicae, Aphis spiraecola, A. fabae, and Brachycaudus persicae were given a 3-day probing access period on PPV-infected peach fruit and transferred to healthy peach seedlings, they transmitted PPV to 50, 35, 0, and 0% of seedlings, respectively. These results suggest that PPV-infected fruit is potentially a virus source for long-distance dispersal. This occurrence was communicated to the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture for possible regulations on imports of Prunus sp. fruits infected with PPV.References:Gildow, F., et al. 2004.
