  Plum Pox
Plum pox, also known as "sharka," is a virus disease that affects stone fruits including plums, peaches, nectarines, apricots, and ornamental Prunus species.
Plum pox occurs on stone fruit trees throughout Europe, in Chile, and was discovered in Pennsylvania in 1999.
Plum pox is difficult to detect, because leaf symptoms are often restricted to only a few leaves per shoot, and infected trees are usually not stunted.
