摘要：

An epidemiological study on European stone fruit yellows (ESFY) phytoplasmas infecting Prunus fruit trees was carried out from 1994 to 2000 in Languedoc- Roussillon southern France). The spread of the disease was monitored for 7 years by visual observation of symptoms and by PCR detection of the phytoplasma in an experimental orchard planted with apricot hybrid seedlings. This indicated that aerial vectors were responsible for disease spread, and that transmission rates were low at the beginning of the spread. Seventy thousand homopteran insects were captured within and in the surroundings of highly ESFY-infected apricot orchards, of which about 10 000 were used in PCR and nested-PCR assays with universal ribosomal and ESFY-specific nonribosomal primers to detect ESFY phytoplasmas. The other insects were confined in cages for trials of transmission to test plants. ESFY phytoplasmas Could not be detected by PCR in any of the leafhopper species captured but could be detected in the psyllid Cacopsylla pruni caught on Prunus domestica and Prunus cerasifera rootstock suckers of apricot trees and on Prunus spinosa. Nested PCR revealed ESFY phytoplasmas in one individual of the deltocephalid Synophropsis lauri captured on an apricot tree. Transmission trials confirmed the role of Cacopsylla pruni as the ESFY phytoplasma vector in France. When apricot seedlings were used as bait plants from April to November during two consecutive years, no natural transmission could be demonstrated. However, one out of 50 apricot seedlings left for the whole year in the orchard became infected. An early spring ESFY infection is in agreement with both the natural transmission results and the life cycle of Cacopsylla pruni.
