A comparison of photographs made at the Centre de Recherches – INRA, Colmar, France, in 1978 indicated that leaf symptoms associated with grapevine summer mottle disease in Australia appeared similar to those of vein mosaic disease in France.
Vein mosaic is common in the Alsace region and occurs in several cultivars, but summer mottle is rare in Australia. Both are graft-transmissible diseases of unknown etiology.
To determine the relationship of the diseases, two V. vinifera cultivars infected with vein mosaic were imported from France in 1979.
This paper reports the foliar symptoms of the two diseases in the respective source vines and in other experimentally infected vines grown in a glasshouse, and demonstrates that the two diseases are not the same.
