“…The incidence of HSVd in citrus in Palestine and Israel was both in trees with symptoms of cachexia (xyloporosis) disease ( Figure 2 ) and citrus gummy bark disease, and as growing of traditional local citrus varieties and rootstocks declined over the decades, so did the incidence of these diseases [ 148 , 189 ]. CEVd variants are divided into two classes that differ in their pathogenicity on tomato as well as in the number of nucleotide changes as compared with CEVd type strains [ 45 ].…”

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.
