development of a microarray for simultaneous detection and differentiation of different tospoviruses that are serologically related to tomato spotted wilt virus. | tospoviruses, the plant-infecting genus in the family bunyaviridae, are thrips borne and cause severe agricultural losses worldwide. based on the serological relationships of the structural nucleocapsid protein (np), the current tospoviruses are divided into six serogroups. the use of np-antisera is convenient for virus detection, but it is insufficient to identify virus species grouped in a serogroup due to the serological cross-reaction. alternatively, virus species can be identified by the n ... | 2017 | 28081705 |
an efficient and high fidelity method for amplification, cloning and sequencing of complete tospovirus genomic rna segments. | tospoviruses (genus tospovirus, family bunyaviridae) are responsible for major losses in an extensive range of crops worldwide. new species of these single-stranded, ambisense rna viruses regularly emerge and have been shown to maintain heterogeneous populations with individual isolates having quite variable biological and virulence characteristics. most tospovirus phylogenetic studies have focused on analysis of a single gene, most often the nucleocapsid protein gene. complete genomic rna segme ... | 2017 | 28082165 |
