An accurate, easy, rapid and inexpensive detection system that can detect multiple plant pathogens at the same time is essential for epidemiological and disease management studies.
The immunochromatographic strip test for multiplex detection of three plant pathogens in cucurbits including potyvirus, watermelon mosaic virus-2 (WMV-2) and Acidovorax avenae subsp. citrulli (Aac) has been developed. This strip test is specific, sensitive, accurate, cost-effective and very convenient, providing seed exporters and governmental sector with a tool that can rapidly detect those three pathogens in five minutes.
