KIT DIAGNÓSTICO ELISA, TRSV PARA 480 ENSAYOS, 1 KIT

TRSV (4) is readily transmissible by sap inoculation and has a wide host range, including both woody and herbaceous plants. It is transmitted by the nematode Xiphinema americanum and other closely related Xiphinema spp. Reports of natural spread are largely confined to North America but the virus has been disseminated to many countries in infected planting material. The virus occurs in nature in both annual and perennial crops.

It causes serious disease problems in those regions of North America where the nematode vectors also occur. For example the virus is widespread in the tobacco-growing areas of North America, causing ring and line patterns on the foliage, dwarfing of the plant, and small leaves of poor quality. The virus occurs in the major blueberry-growing region of the USA, causing blueberry necrotic ringspot disease. The virus causes a ringspot disease of cucurbits in Texas and Wisconsin. Infected plants are stunted and show a leaf mottle accompanied by leaf malformation and reduced fruit set.
