The assay was equivalent in sensitivity but more rapid than conventional immunocapture RT-PCR. The assay can be used either as a one- or two-step RT-PCR and allows detection of the viruses separately or together in a triplex assay from fresh, frozen or freeze-dried pineapple leaf tissue. This IMC-RT-PCR assay could be used for high throughput screening of pineapple planting propagules and could easily be modified for the detection of other RNA viruses in a range of plant species, provided suitable antibodies are available.
