Dectection of Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli
In Australia the detection of Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli (EPPO A2 organism) was investigated comparing indirect immunofluorescence microscopy (IF) and indirect ELISA with specific monoclonal antibodies.
According to the authors the IF method proved to be more reliable than the useful for detecting Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli in seed lots.
