A
commercial lab such as Agdia, www.agdia.com,
has a variety of services that Maria must sort through. She
may send a plant sample into the lab or request a test kit that
she could use at her greenhouse operation. Assuming Maria elects
to send in a plant sample, an ornamental screening test would
be prescribed: Agdia states that this is a starting point to
identify pathogens. Maria
would need to follow the instructions for submitting a sample,
which typically require overnight shipping charges to ensure
that plant tissue remains in good condition.The
Enzyme-Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay (ELISA) testing protocol
is a technique that was developed in the late 1970's to detect
viruses. For more on the ELISA technique visit
the University of Wisconsin Plant Pathology
Lab website (linked at right).
