Serological diagnosis of citrus greening disease

Country
Thailand

Description

[Synopsis]

Accarate serological diagnosis with microprecipitin test was developed for greening disease. Phloem tissues were separated after digestion of diseased midribs in enzyme solution. Partially purified greening organisms (GO) concentrated up to 40 times of the midrib weight were obtained from final pellets after one cycle of centrifugation of homogenate of phloem tissue. Microprecipitin test was conducted by adding one drop (5μl) of the partially purified GO to one drop of the GO antiserum.
