ELISA Test Kits for TMV (Tobacco mosaic virus)
Tech Note: Test Format and Protocol Change
This ELISA test is a qualitative serological assay for the detection of Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), the causal agent of Tobacco mosaic disease, in crops including vegetables, fruits, and ornamentals. TMV is a member of the Tobamovirus genus known for their rod-shaped virus particles. This ELISA has a wide cross-reactivity with other Tobamoviruses. For a complete list click here.
Tobacco mosaic virus is an extremely stable virus and can easily infect adjacent plants and contaminate all kinds of surfaces, such as benches, pots, and tools.

| 1Confirmed experimentally at Agdia, Inc. | |
| 2Reported to detect Piper chlorosis virus (PChV), a possible novel Tobamovirus. | |
Despite the broad reactivity of this test, it is recommended that specific viral tests be used when available as they are optimized for test specificity and sensitivity which may exceed the sensitivity and specificity of the TMV assay to other Tobamoviruses. If you have confirmed the detection of a likely cross-reaction Tobamovirus or any Tobamoviruses not on this list, please contact us.
