Abstract
For a considerable number of viruses from different genera sequence data are available and for
different virus genera general PCR primersets have been described. Not for all economically
important viruses reliable detection methods are available yet. Caulimoviruses constitute a
group of DNA plant viruses that cause diseases in a wide range of crops. To only a limited
number of them specific diagnostics are available. Detection of poorly characterized or new
caulimoviruses is often not possible or reliable. Based on available sequence data caulimovirus
genus–specific primers were designed The primers were tested to available caulimoviruses from
different crops. At least one generic primer set proofed capable of detection of all
caulimovirus tested to date. Sequence analysis of the PCR products enabled subsequent
identification of the individual viruses. Use of these primer sets will allow NPPOs and
inspection services to more reliable monitor caulimovirus infections and spread.
