Catalog #:  VS21
Source Antibody:
  Rabbit polyclonal antibody for both capture and detection.
Test Format:                                   

Reactivity:  Reaction of the ELISA is moderately strong.  Optical Density at 405nm is in a range of 0.800 - 1.800 depending on the virus titer in the samples tested.

Sensitivity:  Sensitivity of the ELISA is relative high.  The virus can be consistently detected in infected plant tissues diluted at 1:270 - 1:810.

Specificity:  This test system has no cross reaction with healthy plant tissues tested. Background is low on the negative control wells.

Information About the Virus

Name: Dahlia Mosaic Caulimovirus
Acronym:  DMV
Synonyms: dahlia virus 1.
Genus: 

Strains:       
Transmission: Transmitted by a vector; an insect; 16 species, notably Aphis fabae, Myzus persicae and Macrosiphum euphorbiae (Heinze, 1951, 1952; Brierley and Smith, 1950); Aphididae. Transmitted in a non-persistent manner (in an atypical manner, because the virus can be retained by both feeding and by starved M. persicae (Brierley and Smith, 1950)). Virus transmitted by mechanical inoculation; not transmitted by seed.

Geographical Distribution: Probably distributed worldwide.
Diagnostically Susceptible Species and Symptoms: 
Verbesina encelioides - chlorotic local lesions then vein-banding, chlorosis and slight malformation.
Dahlia pinnata - systemic chlorotic vein-banding, then chlorosis and stunting.
Ageratum conyzoides cv. Blue Ball - chlorotic local lesions, then systemic chlorotic vein-banding and chlorosis.
Zinnia elegans - symptomless inoculated leaves, then slight systemic malformation, with transient chlorosis.
Amaranthus caudatus - few chlorotic local lesions, then mild systemic mottle.
Chenopodium capitatum - no symptoms in inoculated leaves, then conspicuous systemic chlorotic vein-banding and chlorosis.
