Hosts

Red ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica var. “aucubaefolia”), European ash (Fraxinus excelsior), and privet (Ligustrum japonicum) are natural hosts. White ash is (F. americana) also susceptible, showing symptoms after graft transmission of PrLBaV, suggesting that other species within the Oleaceae family may also be putative host plants.
