Serology Applied to Plant Virology
- Virus infections severely affect agricultural quality and quantity, especially in developing countries
- Plant disease control requires understanding and diagnosing causal agents
- Symptoms aren't always reliable for virus diagnosis due to variations in plant varieties, environmental conditions, and viral strains
- Bioassays using indicator plants remain crucial for virus identification
- Modern lab methods facilitate accurate plant virus disease diagnosis, comprising physical, biological, cytological, serological, and molecular techniques
- Serology is a specific and easy method for virus diagnosis
- Antigens trigger immune responses in animals, leading to antibody production
