Regulated non-quarantine pest Project

An EU funded project for the benefit of the whole EPPO region




NAME OF THE ORGANISM: Gooseberry vein banding associated virus (GOVB00)


GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE PEST

Name as submitted in the project specification (if different to the preferred name):
 
Vein clearing and vein net of blackcurrant

Pest category:
 
Viruses and viroids


Remarks:
 
Vein clearing of blackcurrant, Vein net of blackcurrant and Gooseberry vein banding (on Ribes) can thus be ascribed to Gooseberry vein banding disease, a disease closely associated with Gooseberry vein banding associated virus (GVBaV) (Jones et al., 2001). However, in the Netherlands grafting experiments done with Red currant vein banding agent and Gooseberry vein banding agent (by F van der Meer, IPO Wageningen, Personal communication) demonstrated that these two agents are not identical. Experts therefore suggested giving Red Currant Vein Banding a separate denomination (as an agent).
