Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation In Malawi, 23 plant virus species were detected in banana and surrounding plants.
- Observation Three virus species were detected on banana plants.
- Observation Twenty virus species were detected in surrounding plants of banana plantations.
- Observation The putative novel pepper derived totivirus was detected and confirmed by RT-PCR on pepper.
- Observation Nine known virus species were detected in banana plantations and surrounding plants.
- Observation A host plant was identified for two of the known virus species.
- Observation No viral exchange between banana and surrounding plants was observed.
- Method / resource The VANA HTS test detected BanMMV better than IC-(RT)-PCR on individual banana samples.
- Method / resource The VANA HTS test had much lower sensitivity for BBTV and BSV than targeted PCR on banana samples.
- Association HTS sensitivity depends on sampling, pooling protocol and targeted virus species.
- Recommendation Strengthened sanitary and phytosanitary measures are called for within and beyond banana production systems.
