<strong>Concurrent Grapevine virus A (GVA) infection with other grapevine viruses can complicate disease diagnosis and management. To investigate the occurrence of GVA, 48 samples exhibiting virus-like symptoms such as leaf yellowing, reddening, fan leaf, mosaic, leaf rolling, and shortening of internodes were collected from 18 commercial vineyards in Azerbaijan during the 2019-2022 growing seasons. Phloem scrapings were analyzed using DAS-ELISA and RT-PCR. RT-PCR was conducted using specific pr
