Aim. Establishing the genetic diversity of Plum pox virus (PPV) in Ukraine. Methods. Double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA), polymerase chain reaction with reverse transcription (RT-PCR), DNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. Results. The samples with visual symptoms of virus infection were collected from different regions of Ukraine and diagnosed using DAS-ELISA. The amplicons of the coat protein (CP) gene were obtained using RT-PCR and sequenced. The obtaine
