Citrus Tristeza Virus (CTV) Testing
The Citrus Tristeza Virus (CTV) is one of the most critical viruses affecting citrus crops worldwide. It primarily affects Citrus species, including orange, lemon, and grapefruit trees, leading to significant yield losses and economic impacts. The virus spreads through grafting material, aphids, and contaminated tools, making it a major concern for growers and researchers.
CTV causes symptoms such as dieback of shoots, reduced fruit size, and a decline in overall tree health. Early detection is crucial to prevent the spread of this disease, which can devastate entire orchards if left unchecked. Eurolab offers advanced CTV testing services using state-of-the-art diagnostic methods, ensuring accurate and reliable results.
Our laboratory utilizes quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) for sensitive and specific detection of CTV in citrus plant samples. This method allows us to quantify the viral load present in the tested material, providing essential data for disease management strategies. Additionally, we employ ELISA-based tests for preliminary screening and confirmatory qPCR testing.
For quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement teams involved with citrus production, Eurolab's CTV testing services provide critical insights into the health of your orchards. By detecting CTV early, you can implement targeted intervention measures to protect your crops and maintain productivity levels.
