Abstract
Citrus can host a number of important vector- and graft-transmissible pathogens which cause severe diseases. Citrus disease management and clean stock programs require pathogen detection systems which must be economical and sensitive to maintain a healthy citrus industry. Rapid diagnostic tests for simultaneous detection of major graft-transmissible disease agents enable reduction of cost and time. The genetic and biological features of viruses and viroids can vary according to the strains/variants, with severe and mild strains described within the same species. The use of diagnostic tests that can allow to selectively discriminate severe strain(s) is a powerful tool to intercept the most harmful strains and to reduce the need for biological indexing. Moreover a combination of these detection methods will facilitate the studies on the interactions between CTV and viroids, a research topic only partially explored so far.
