Because of the sporadic occurrence and low incidence of SVBV, the disease is only of minor importance but under extreme aphid pressure, the incidence can approach 100% in third-year fields (Martin & Tzanetakis, 2006). Fruit yield and size are affected, and runner production reduced. In combination with strawberry latent C disease, SVBV reduced yield by 17% in the first fruiting year, and total and saleable fruit by 88% and 100%, respectively, in the third year (Bolton, 1974, EPPO/CABI 1996).
There are no specific control measures (Martin & Tzanetakis, 2013). Nevertheless, it is important, even in annual production systems, to control the aphid vectors (primarily Chaetosiphon fragaefolii) in order to reduce virus infections (Martin & Tzanetakis, 2006). SVBV is highly resistant to inactivation by heat therapy but it can be eliminated from plants by means of meristem tip culture. As a consequence, the use of certified planting material is the best control procedure, and certification schemes for the production of healthy planting material of strawberry are in operation in several EPPO countries. An EPPO certification scheme for strawberries is available and provides guidelines on how to produce healthy planting material (EPPO, 2008). Control of aphids with insecticides could reduce the incidence of the disease.
