Plum plantations which included 'Anna Späth', 'd'Agen', 'Stanley', 'Čačanska Lepotiča', 'Centenar', 'President', 'Topend plus' and 'Tophit' cv. and sweet cherry plantations with the 'Kordia', 'Skeena', 'Ferrovia', 'Sweetheart', 'Regina', 'Prime Giant', 'Stella', 'Van', 'Maria', 'Bigarreau Burlat', 'Vanda', 'Karina', 'Lapins', 'Penny', 'Summit' cv., from the areas of Muntenia and Oltenia, Romania, were evaluated to identify the main viruses ACLSV, ApMV, PPV, PDV, PNRSV for plum and ACLSV, ApMV, ArMV, PPV, PDV, PNRSV, CLRV, TBRV, SLRSV, RpRSV for sweet cherry. The diagnosis was established by the DAS-ELISA technique, PPV being also identified by the AGRISTRIP method. The degree of viral infection was different, thus, in plum, PPV was identified between 0.00% and 57.50%, ApMV between 0.00% and 1.50% and PDV between 0.00% and 0.5% and in sweet cherry plantations TBRV between 0 and 20.00%, ArMV 0.00% and 15.00% and ACLSV 0.00% and 5.00%.
