Nevertheless, in 2008, an emerging grapevine disease \u2013 later termed red blotch disease, was first recognized in a Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard in Napa Valley, California. The disease was typified by leaf reddening and delayed fruit maturity in red cultivars of grapevine and initially confused with grapevine leafroll due to the late-season symptom of leaf reddening.\u00a0 However, some symptomatic leafroll grapevine cultivars were found to be free of leafroll viruses and DNA sequencing analysis revealed the presence of a single stranded DNA virus that was named, <em>Grapevine red blotch associated virus<\/em> (Al Rwahnih <em>et al.,<\/em> 2012, 2013).\u00a0 In 2010, severe decline of grapevine cultivar \u2018Cabernet franc\u2019 was discovered in a vineyard in New York.\u00a0 As in California, the disease was initially described as leafroll but following nucleic acid analysis, was found to be free of leafroll viruses, and found to have a single stranded DNA that, on sequence analysis, resembled members of the virus family Geminiviridae.\u00a0 This virus was tentatively named, <em>Grapevine cabernet franc-associated virus<\/em> (GCFaV).\u00a0 Subsequently, both GRBaV and GCFaV were found to be the same virus and the name, <em>Grapevine red blotch associated virus<\/em> was used for the causal organism of the associated grapevine red blotch disease to distinguish the symptoms from those caused by leafroll viruses and other graft-transmissible agents (Krenz <em>et al<\/em>., 2014). \u00a0<em>Grapevine red blotch associated virus<\/em> is a newly identified virus of grapevines and a putative member of a new genus within the family Geminiviridae (Sudarshana <em>et al.,<\/em> 2015).\u00a0 In 2013, in Washington State vineyards, a disease similar to grapevine red blotch was reported to be caused by <em>Grapevine red leaf-associated virus<\/em>, which was determined to be genetically identical to GRBaV (Poojari <em>et al<\/em>., 2013).<\/p>\n<p>Since its initial discovery in 2008, GRBaV has been detected in several regions of California (<em>see<\/em> \u2018California Distribution\u2019).\u00a0 Furthermore, through surveys, the disease was found to be widely distributed in North America.\u00a0 Grapevine red blotch has not been reported outside of North America. Studies conducted in the National Clonal Germplasm Repository (NCGR) located near Winters, California, revealed that grapevine accessions originating from 33 countries and five continents outside North America tested positive for the virus.\u00a0 However, it was not concluded from those studies that the virus occurs in those countries (Rwahnih <em>et al<\/em>., 2015).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em><strong>Hosts<\/strong><\/em>: <em>Vitis vinifera<\/em> (grapevine) red cultivars: Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot, Mourv\u00e8dre, Petite Sirah, Petit Verdot, Pinot Noir, and Zinfandel; white <em>V. vinifera<\/em> cultivars such as Chardonnay, Riesling, Semillon, and Viognier; also, table and raisin grapes and some root stocks.\u00a0 GRBaV has been detected in grapevine collections, nursery stock and established vineyards (EPPO, 2015).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em><strong>Symptoms<\/strong><\/em>: Symptoms have been observed in grapevines of various ages in young (first leaf) and mature (5-20 yr old vineyards. Generally, symptoms appear in late August through September as red blotches on leaf blades on basal portions of shoots either between secondary or tertiary veins or extending from the leaf margin with the veins turning partly or fully red (Sudarshana &amp; Fuchs, 2015). Foliar symptoms in white cultivars are less conspicuous and usually involve irregular chlorotic areas that may become necrotic late in season (Sudarshana <em>et al<\/em>., 2015).\u00a0 Certain white cultivars, such as Sauvignon Blanc may remain asymptomatic (EPPO, 2015).\u00a0 Symptoms of red blotch are very similar to those caused by leafroll disease in that leaves, primarily at the base of shoots, turn red during early fall.\u00a0 However, unlike leafroll, red blotch affected leaves have pink or red veins on the underside of leaves without the margins rolling downwards.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em><strong>Damage Potential<\/strong><\/em>:\u00a0 GRBaV reduces fruit quality and ripening of grape.\u00a0 The most significant impact of red blotch disease is the reduction of sugar levels (\u00b0Brix), up to 4-5 times lower, in fruit of diseased grapes than in fruit of healthy grapes thereby, causing delayed harvests.\u00a0 This is of particular concern to wine grape growers who must achieve a certain sugar level in their wine grapes before the latter are acceptable for wine production.\u00a0 Also, fruit of diseased grapevines have increased acidity. The effect of red blotch disease on fruit yield or vine longevity is not known.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em><strong>Transmission<\/strong><\/em>:\u00a0 GRBaV is graft transmissible.\u00a0 The primary source of spread of the pathogen is through infected planting material.\u00a0 There is no evidence for seed transmission (similar to other members of Geminiviridae).\u00a0 While the role of an insect vector in transmitting GRBaV in vineyards has not been confirmed, greenhouse experiments have shown that the Virginia creeper leafhopper (<em>Erythroneura aicazc<\/em>) is involved in spreading the virus from vine to vine in the greenhouse.\u00a0 The role of this leafhopper in vineyards and how plant-to-plant spread of GRBaV occurs under field conditions are not yet known (Rwahnih <em>et al.,<\/em> 2015; Sudarshana &amp; Fuchs, 2015).<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Worldwide Distribution<\/u><\/strong>: <em>North America<\/em>: USA (Arizona, Arkansas, California, Georgia, Idaho, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and Washington) and Canada (British Columbia and Ontario) (EPPO, 2015; McFadden-Smith, 2013; Sudarshana &amp; Fuchs, 2015).<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Official Control<\/u><\/strong>: <em>Grapevine red blotch associated virus<\/em> is on the \u201c2015 Alert list\u201d of the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO, 2015).\u00a0 Currently, it is a Q-rated quarantine pathogen in California.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>California Distribution<\/u><\/strong>:\u00a0 Red blotch disease has been found in Napa and Sonoma Counties, as well as in the central coast (San Luis Obispo County) and San Joaquin Valley (Fresno County) regions of the State (Al Rwahnih <em>et al<\/em>., 2013; Sudarshana &amp; Fuchs, 2015).<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>California Interceptions<\/u><\/strong>: There are no records of detection of GRBaV in quarantine shipments of plant material intercepted in California.<\/p>\n<p>The risk <em>Grapevine red blotch associated virus<\/em> would pose to California is evaluated below.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Consequences of Introduction:\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><strong>1) \u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Climate\/Host Interaction<\/span><\/strong>: Evaluate if the pest would have suitable hosts and climate to establish in California.
