The species name Candidatus phytoplasma prunorum was proposed for ESFY phytoplasma in 2004 (Seemuller and Schneider, 2004). It is closely related to both Candidatus phytoplasma mali (apple proliferation phytoplasma) and Candidatus phytoplasma pyri (pear decline phytoplasma) and the three phytoplasmas share 98.5-99% sequence similarity across the 16S gene. All three phytoplasmas belong to the 16SrX (apple proliferation) phytoplasma group (Lee et al. 1998). However significant genetic differences are observed in other genes amongst the three phytoplasmas and they have distinct biological and epidemiological properties including host range and vectors.
