Recent Advancement in Diagnosis of Begomoviruses

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Begomoviruses: Occurrence and Management in Asia and Africa

Abstract

The diagnostics techniques are required for the detection of disease-causing organisms in plants. It is necessary for these techniques to be easy, specific, and efficient in virus detection at early or late stages of the disease. The timely and efficient detection of these viruses is essential in the control of diseases and in farm management practices. The diagnostics has evolved from simple symptomatic detection to the level where the disease-causing organisms are detected in non-symptomatic plants also that act as a reservoir for Begomovirus during unfavorable season. This chapter will give an update about the status of the established techniques for virus detection and recent advances in virus diagnostics. The techniques discussed here are available for effective farm management of the viral diseases caused by Begomovirus and other associated genera of geminivirus.
