SET REACTIVOS ELISA, TORSV PARA 480 ENSAYOS, 1 KIT

ToRSV (7) is a nepovirus with a wide host range and is naturally transmitted by nematodes in the genus Xiphinema. It is an important virus in fruit trees, berry crops and grapevines in North America. In other parts of the world, the virus is only sporadically occurring. In Europe, for example, ToRSV has been detected in geraniums (pelargonium) and raspberries in Denmark, Great Britain, Sweden and Former Yugoslavia. Serologically different strains of ToRSV do exist (3).

Serological properties are not related to host or geographic origin of the isolates. BIOREBA offers 2 different, complementary, reagents (IgG and AP-conjugated IgG for DAS-ELISA) for ToRSV. To our current knowledge, all isolates are detected if tested with both reagents ToRSV and ToRSV-Ch.
