Overview of the phytoplasma and vector research in Austria, Croatia and Slovenia

"Bois noir" phytoplasma is present in the vineyard pathosystems of all three countries, as well as the usual vector Hyalesthes obsoletus. "Flavescence dorée" phytoplasma was detected in Slovenia before, and in Austria and Croatia within the timeframe of this COST Action. Molecular epidemiology and diversity investigations confirmed considerable diversity of both phytoplasmas. Besides the expected epidemiological cycles, interesting and potentially new pathosystem niches have been investigated. The presence of the three most important fruit tree phytoplasmas, the agents of European stone fruit yellows, Pear Decline and Apple Proliferation, and their vectors have been detected in all three countries. Novel phytoplasma detection and research methods are being used, and innovative management strategies are being developed.
