Tridge summary
With the Taqman RT-PCR test, the presence or absence of Tomato Black Ring Virus (TBRV) and Beet Ringspot Virus (BRSV) on the seed of the mentioned vegetables can be demonstrated. As a result, the Elisa testing method will expire on 1 January 2022. There was a need from the market to expand the protocol of the Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus (TYLCV). This can now also be used for peppers and aubergines. Naktuinbouw has opted for the reliable and sensitive ZE-PCR method as the testing system for both tests. TBRV and BRSV are found in Europe, Japan, Saudi Arabia, and India. Both viruses have a very diverse host range and are transmitted by the nematode Longidorus. The TBRV test can also detect BRSV. TYLCV is a begomovirus that is transmitted worldwide by whiteflies. This virus can cause major problems in tomatoes, but also in peppers, eggplant, potatoes, tobacco, and beans.
