The first evidence of sharka was reported in Iran in 2000 . Due to the economic impact of this disease on crop production, recent advances in the term of  biology, epidemiology, and disease management are provided in this paper to assure awareness among growers and professionals involved in Prunus production. This study will provide fundamental knowledge  about this virus  to guaranty the successful   detection and controlling of sharka disease in Iran.}, keywords = {Breeding sharka disease,control,detection,Potyvirus,Prunus,PPV,Resistance}, url = {https://ijhst.ut.ac.ir/article_66749.html}, eprint = {https://ijhst.ut.ac.ir/article_66749_a30a0ec7b39eab7356f9e5dc978cf415.pdf} }
