1.
Biological, serological and molecular characterisation of Raspberry bushy dwarf virus from grapevine and its detection in the nematode L. juvenilis.

In 2003, RBDV was found for the first time in grapevine; the first report of a non-Rubus natural host. During this study the grapevine isolates were characterised biologically, serologically and genetically and compared with known information about Rubus isolates. Phylogenetic analyses clustered grapevine isolates separately from raspberry isolates. Additionally, the virus was detected using nested RT-PCR in Longidorus juvenilis nematodes collected in an infected vineyard. Grapevine isolates of RBDV are distinct from raspberry isolates.

Morphological and molecular analyses of PCN populations from Serbia.

Different populations of potato cyst nematodes, Globodera rostochiensis and G. pallida, extracted from arable soil in Serbia were analysed by morphometrics and real-time PCR.
