“…Cypriot lemon ‘Polýphori’ and ‘Lapithou’,‘ Arakapas’ mandarin, ‘Jaffa’ and ‘Siekeriko’ orange, Bergamot, ‘Frappa’, and ‘Coumantantas’ were found viroid-free and citrus psorosis virus (CPsV)-free. Testing for viroids and CPsVwas being continued for all plants which were produced by in vitro shoot-tip grafting until 2011 [ 158 ].…”

“…CVd-V was not detected in any of the samples. Only 7.5% of the samples tested were negative to viroid infection, indicating the need for dissemination of virus/viroid-free propagating material [56,148,[158][159][160][161]. In this country, a citrus certification scheme had been lacking 30 years ago, and most of all, there is widespread use of the sour orange rootstock, which is tolerant to viroids, despite being susceptible to CTV.…”

There has been substantial progress in the Mediterranean countries regarding research on viroids. Twenty-nine viroid species, all belonging to Pospiviroidae and Avsunviroidae genera, have been detected in the Mediterranean Basin. Not only have detection methods, such as reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and next-generation sequencing, been used for viroid detection, along with molecular hybridization techniques allowing for rapid detection, identification, and characterization of known and novel viroids in these countries, but eradication measures have also been taken that allowed for the efficient elimination of certain viroids in a number of Mediterranean countries. The eradication measures were followed as recommended by the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization, which is known by its abbreviation, EPPO. The Mediterranean Region has been a niche for viroids since ancient times due to the warm climate and the socio-cultural conditions that facilitate viroid transmission among different host plant species.
