Viral diseases appear in vineyards with a variety of signs, depending on the cultivar, the virus strain, the specific environmental conditions or the combination of the rootstock. The study was conducted in Kosovo during 2017 in the Rahovec, Suhareka and Prizeren regions. 300 samples were taken from these regions and mainly in the varieties Vranac, Smederevka, Prokupa, Afuzali, Muskat Hamburg, Game and Italian Rizling which were analyzed for the GVA and GVB viruses. These vine samples were tested with ELISA test following the protocol of Protein (A-DAS ELISA)and Direct binding ELISA. The ELISA technique showed that the GVA virus was present in all grape varieties and in the three regions of Kosovo, while the GVB virus was present only in the Procupa variety and only in the Rahovec region. In these samples, GVA infection resulted in 14%, while GVB infection resulted 1% in the Procupa variety in the Rahovec region, while other vine varieties were found to be uninfected by this virus.
