A survey was carried out in Austria to type PPV isolates in stone fruit orchards and hedges along their borders. A total of 181 isolates were typed by serological and molecular (IC-RT-PCR and PCR/RFLP in the CP and the Nib-genes) techniques. Selected isolates (54) were tested by DASI-ELISA using the following monoclonal antibodies (MAbs): 5B (universal), 4DG5 (PPV-D specific), AL (PPV-M specific), AC (PPV-C specific) and EA24 (PPV-El Amar specific). The vast majority of Austrian PPV isolates (159) belong to D strain and only a few isolates (16) could be assigned for sure to PPV-M. For 6 isolates, the serological and molecular data for strain identification were not in agreement, which could be explained by sequencing analyses.
