Hospederos

Cherries; Peaches, Apples, and Raspberries. Prunus mahaleb is also susceptible. Weeds have been found naturally infected, but are symptomless (such as species of Taraxacum, Plantago and Balsamorhiza)

Pest Status (old values from ISPM 8 -1998 )

• Absent: pest no longer present
• Absent: pest records unreliable

Pest Status (ISPM 8 - 2021)

• Absent: pest no longer present

Resumen

Cherry rasp leaf virus (CRLV) is recorded in Australia from Orange, New South Wales, 1960 (APPD, Buchen-Osmond et al., 1988); Rosevers, Tasmania, 1984 (APPD); Victoria (Buchen-Osmond et al., 1988; Washington & Nancarrow, 1983); Western Australia (Buchen-Osmond et al., 1988); and South Australia (Crowley et al., 1962). The record from Orange, NSW, was from an old orchard that became a housing estate some time ago. The sample collected was from the cherry cultivar ‘St Margaret’ that is no longer grown commercially in the Orange area. Department of Primary Industries NSW diagnostic services have confirmed there have been no detections of the CRLV in recent times. Tasmania has no records for CRLV in their collections. The CRLV record in APPD was never verified by ELISA test, and relied on identification of symptoms, which is unreliable as symptoms can be caused by other viruses (Martin et al., 2013; Hansen et al., 1974). Washington & Nancarrow (1983) record the presence of the virus in Victoria in 1970 with no further details, and Crowley et al. (1962) records CRLV occurring in South Australia based on symptoms only. For this reason the records are considered unreliable and there have been no confirmed detections since. Buchen-Osmond et al., (1988) states the viruses presence on cherry budwood in WA with no further details. Surveillance was undertaken across all pome fruits growing regions for CRLV in 2004 (Constable et al., 2007) and again in 2015 in stone fruit growing regions (Constable, 2016, pers. comm.). The 2015 survey examined the following samples: almond, apricot, cherry, cherry plum, nectarine, peach, peach-almond hybrid, plum and rose. Samples were collected from major summer-fruit and almond growing regions and home gardens in New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Western Australia and Victoria (Constable, 2016, pers. comm.). Neither of these surveys detected CRLV. The records for CRLV are more than 30 years old, are based on observations of symptoms only, and are therefore considered unreliable. This is further supported by the fact that CRLV has not been detected since the removal of the orchard in New South Wales where a record had been found and despite specific surveillance no pest records have been found for more than 30 years, this pest is therefore considered absent from Australia.
