abstract = "Flavescence dorée (FD) is a severe grapevine disease caused by FD phytoplasmas (FDp), impacting
major viticultural regions in Europe. The epidemic spread of FD within vineyards is facilitated by the
Nearctic leafhopper Scaphoideus titanus, completing its life cycle on Vitis sp. plants in Europe
(Chuche & Thiéry, 2014). Through genotyping of the informative house-keeping gene map, FDp has
been categorized into three genetic clusters, each associated with specific vector and reservoir plant
epidemiology or geographic distribution (Arnaud et al., 2007; Malembic-Maher et al., 2020).
Genotypes of the Map-FD2 cluster are most abundant in vineyards in France, Switzerland, Italy,
Croatia, and Slovenia, while FD3 prevails in the Balkans (reviewed in Krstić et al., 2022). Epidemic
outbreaks of FD in Serbian vineyards began in the early 2000s, and despite extensive preventive and
curative measures, today FD is affecting vineyard areas in all administrative districts in Serbia(Krstić
et al., 2022).Until recently, the M51 genotype belonging to the Map-FD3 cluster, which is common in
all districts and wine-growing regions, was the only genotype associated with the FDp outbreaks in
Serbian vineyards.Subsequent surveys in the late 2010s on the occurrence and diversityof FDp in
Serbian vineyards revealed for the first timetheoccurrence of other genotypes, including members of
the Map-FD2 cluster: M89, M148, and M155, indicating that FDp in Serbian vineyards is not
monotypic and has a complex epidemiology(Krstić et al., 2022). This discovery prompted a more indepth
investigation into the specific ecological factors contributing to disease outbreaks to assess the
significance of these new findings. Initial results from this research are presented herein.",
