PhytoDETECT® TSWV RT-qPCR Kit

Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus (TSWV) is one of the most devastating viral pathogens. It reduces the productivity and quality of important ornamental crops and vegetables, being capable of infecting over 550 botanical species. The infection is characterized by the formation of chlorotic rings on the leaves that necrose with a bronzed color, and the fruits lose their commercial value. It is transmitted by at least nine species of thrips and is widely distributed around the world. TSWV belongs to the genus Tospovirus and has a genome composed of 3 RNA segments known as Large (L), Medium (M), and Small (S).
The PhytoDETECT® TSWV RT-qPCR Kit enables the detection of TSWV through a real-time quantitative RT-PCR reaction. The kit includes a master mix containing the necessary enzymes, optimized primers and probes, as well as a DNA-based positive amplification control (PAC) to ensure that the PCR amplification is performed efficiently with the supplied components.
