More than 30 different viruses are known to affect potatoes, contributing to degeneration of the crop. In response, major efforts have been made to control virus diseases by eliminating them from propagation stocks and developing resistant cultivars, procedures whose effectiveness rely on proper identification of viruses and their detection by means of sensitive and accurate virus detection technology.
