ELISA detection of potato T capillovirus
An ELISA test, using two monoclonal antibodies has been developed in UK and is highly specific for potato T capillovirus (EPPO A1 quarantine pest). The authors concluded that this is a simple, inexpensive, rapid detection method for PVT in plant material. They also noted that large scale field testing of this system is currently being done at the International Potato Centre in Peru.
