Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and potato plantlets of cultivars Green Mountain, Red Pontiac, Russet Burbank and Shepody, potato virus S (PVS) was detected in primary infected plants under field conditions. Potato virus S was detected 3 wk postinoculation (p.i.) from the field-grown plants as compared to 2 wk p.i. from greenhouse-grown plants. Potato virus S concentration in infected plants remained high throughout the growing season. The ELISA test using dormant tubers was not reliable because A405 nm values overlapped between infected and healthy tubers. Exposure of healthy plants to PVS sources in the field resulted in high infections with PVS by the 9th wk of growth. This pattern of infection suggests involvement of aerial vectors in the transmission of PVS under conditions of the Atlantic region of Canada.Key words: Current year infection, ELISA, dormant tubers, spread of PVS

The research was carried out, in the period 2002-2004 in order to determine the presence and distribution of potato viruses at 12 different locations and on 9 different potato varieties grown in Montenegro. The research included collecting of samples in seed potato crops and testing of six economically important potato viruses: Potato leaf roll virus (PLRV), Potato virus Y (PVY), Potato virus X (PVX), Potato virus S (PVS), Potato virus A (PVA) i Potato virus M (PVM). Using the direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA) and commercial antisera specific for six potato viruses, it was found that PVY was the most frequent virus during the three-year research period. The second frequent virus was PVS, followed by PVA, PLRV, PVM and PVX. Single and mixed infections were detected, and the most prevalent were the single infections of PVY. Also, in the period 2002-2004, PVY had the highest distribution and the number of present viruses was different at different localities and on different potato varieties. Further investigations were related to detailed characterization of the most prevalent virus (PVY), which is at the same time economically the most important one. Serological characterization of PVY was performed utilizing DAS-ELISA kit with commercial monoclonal antibodies specific for detection of the three strain groups of PVY, and the two strain groups - necrotic (PVYN/PVYNTN) and common (PVYO), were identified. Necrotic strains were prevalent in 2002 and 2004, while in 2003 PVYO was the most frequent strain in virus population. The presence of stipple streak strain (PVYC) was not detected in any of the tested samples.

Seventy-two potato tubers of 106 tested from plants exposed 1 year in a field were found infected with potato virus S (PVS) in different tests. Ninety-three percent of these were detected by tuber juice inoculation to Nicotiana debneyi Domin. and 90% by serology of 30-cm plants grown from an eye of such tubers. Sap inoculation to N. debneyi of the same young plants proved to be 96% efficient in detecting the virus, and serological tests at bloom stage were the most efficient of all the tests compared.Tests done on all tubers from 18 plants currently infected with PVS showed that 103 of 116 (89%) were infected, and virtually all eyes from 68 infected tubers produced infected plants.Three years of field trials at Fredericton on the spread of PVS showed that the virus moved into virus-free varieties independently of potato virus X (PVX). In 1970, leaf tests showed that virus-free Netted Gems became 12% infected with PVS; in 1971, spread into Green Mountain, Kennebec, and Sebago was 57, 19, and 9%, respectively; and in 1972, 14% spread occurred in Green Mountain and none in Kennebec or Sebago.Greenhouse experiments on transmission of PVS to potato by Myzus persicae (Sulz.) resulted in 3 of 87 (3.4%) plants becoming infected. Other tests with potato virus Y (PVY) to tobacco, Nicotiana tabacum L. var. Samsun, resulted in 83% transmission.

A macroarray was developed for the detection of 11 potato viruses and Potato spindle tuber viroid. The 11 viruses detected included those commonly found or tested for in North American potato seed certification programs: Alfalfa mosaic virus, Cucumber mosaic virus, Potato mop top virus, Potato leafroll virus, Potato latent virus, Potato virus A, Potato virus M, Potato virus S, Potato virus X, Potato virus Y, and Tobacco rattle virus. These viruses were detected using oligonucleotide 70-mer probes and labeled targets prepared by a random primed amplification procedure. Potato plants analyzed included those infected with 12 reference virus stocks and 36 field isolates. Results from the macroarray were entirely consistent with those obtained using a standard serological assay (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). Four isolates of Potato spindle tuber viroid, in mixed infection with one or more viruses, also were detected in the array, although strong hybridization signals required amplification with viroid-specific primers in combination with anchored-random primers. In individual plants, up to four viruses, or a viroid plus two viruses, were detected, with no apparent competition or inhibition. Macroarrays are a cost-effective approach to the simultaneous diagnostic detection of multiple pathogens from infected plants.

A survey was conducted to determine the incidence of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), Beet curly top virus (BCTV), Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV), Tomato chlorotic spot virus (TcSV), Potato virus Y (PVY), Potato virus S (PVS), Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), Tomato ringspot virus (TRSV), Tomato aspermy virus (TAV), Arabis mosaic virus (ArMV), Tobacco streak virus (TSV), Tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV), Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), and Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) in the major horticultural crop growing areas in the southeast and central regions of Iran. A total of 1,307 symptomatic leaf samples from fields and 603 samples from greenhouses were collected from January 2003 to July 2005 in five southeastern and central provinces of Iran. Samples of symptomatic plants were analyzed for virus infection by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using specific polyclonal antibodies. ArMV and CMV were the most frequently found viruses, accounting for 25.6 and 23.4%, respectively, of the collected samples. BCTV, TSWV, TMV, PVY, ToMV, and TYLCV were detected in 6.1, 5.8, 5.6, 5, 4.8, and 1.6% of the samples, respectively. TBSV, TAV, TSV, PVS, and TRSV were not detected in any of the samples tested. Double and triple infections involving different combination of viruses were found in 13.9 and 1.7% of samples, respectively. This is the first report of PVY and ArMV as viruses naturally infecting tomato in Iran. Infection of tomato plants with PVY and ArMV was confirmed. Six out of 20 plant species belonging to six genera, growing in tomato fields or in the nearby areas, were found infected with TSWV, TMV, PVY, and CMV.

A survey of six potato viruses, Potato virus A (PVA), Potato virus M (PVM), Potato virus S(PVS), Potato virus X (PVX), Potato virus Y (PVY), and Potato leafroll virus (PLRV), was conducted in New York and Maine during 2002 and 2003. Leaf samples were tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and PVY-positive samples were further tested to determine whether a necrotic strain of PVY (PVYN) or a strain able to induce necrosis in tobacco and in potato tubers (PVYNTN) were present. In both years, PVY and PVS were identified in a majority of the samples, and mixed infections predominated in 83% of the symptomatic leaves in 2002. Of the total 394 PVY-positive samples, 3 reacted with monoclonal antibody (MAb) 1F5 and caused veinal necrosis (VN) in tobacco. Two of these isolates caused tuber necrosis in the potato cv. Yukon Gold. Three PVY isolates reacted with MAb 1F5 but did not cause VN in tobacco, and two caused VN but did not react with MAb 1F5. None of these eight isolates were able to overcome the Ry resistance gene in the potato cultivar Eva, but several were able to overcome the Ny resistance gene found in Allegany. PVYN isolates were not widespread in the northeastern United States; however, several PVY isolates differed from both PVYN and the ordinary strain of PVY and may represent strain recombinants.

From a total of 8,135 potato leaves collected from 132 fields in 11 provinces of Iran, the incidence and distribution of Alfalfa mosaic virus (AlMV), Eggplant mottled dwarf virus (EMDV), Potato leafroll virus (PLRV), Potato virus A (PVA), Potato virus M (PVM), Potato virus S(PVS), Potato virus X (PVX), Potato virus Y (PVY), and Tomato yellow fruit ring virus (TYFRV) were assessed using serological and biological methods. Based on enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) results, viruses in decreasing order of incidence in potato were PVS (35.9%), PVY (34.4%), PVA (27.0%), PVX (20.8%), PLRV (13.9%), PVM (9.0%), AlMV (7.0%), TYFRV (5.9%), and EMDV (5.1%). All 132 fields surveyed had some degree of virus infection, ranging from 28.8 to 98.6%, with an overall incidence of 75.2%. The highest and lowest incidence of virus infections among the surveyed provinces occurred in Kerman (93.2%) and Ardabil (56.7%), respectively. Overall, 25.0 and 50.2% of the collected potato samples had single or mixed infections, respectively. High levels of mixed infections were found between PVX and PVS (8.6%), and PVX and PVY (7.6%). Moreover, co-infection of samples with PVS and PVY, PVA and PVS, and PVA and PVY, the aphid-vectored virus/virus combinations, occurred at the highest incidence in almost all provinces surveyed, 15.3, 13.8, and 12.8%, respectively. In this study, Beet curly top virus was detected in symptomatic potato samples collected from some fields in the Kermanshah province.

A complementary DNA (cDNA) macroarray was developed for simultaneous detection of 12 different potato viruses. A suitable region in the viral genome for each was selected for Alfalfa mosaic virus, Cucumber mosaic virus, Potato aucuba mosaic virus, Potato leafroll virus, Potato mop-top virus, Potato virus A, Potato virus M, Potato virus S, Potato virus X, Potato virus Y, Tomato ringspot virus, and Tomato spotted wilt virus, and their respective cDNAs were cloned into plasmid vectors. Capture probes for each virus ranging from 290 to 577 bp were generated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and immobilized on a nylon membrane. Total RNAs were extracted from each of these virus infected-plants, and cDNAs were synthesized from the RNA extracts using a random 9-mer primer. Subsequently, PCR reactions were performed using one primer pair for each of the 12 viruses. During PCR, amplified cDNAs were labeled with biotin and used as a target for hybridization analyses on a macroarray membrane. Hybridization signals between capture probes for the 12 viruses and their respective target cDNAs were observed using chemiluminescent or colorimetric detection. In all viruses, hybridization signals with capture probes were detected only when homologous virus targets were examined, and no hybridization to healthy plant extract was observed, facilitating identification of each virus. The results by colorimetric detection agreed with those obtained using chemiluminescence. The macroarray method developed was 5 × 102 to 4 × 106 times more sensitive than enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and 5 to 5 × 104 times more sensitive than reverse-transcription PCR, except for Alfalfa mosaic virus. Colorimetric detection and substantial reduction in cross-hybridization signals much improved the method compared with other array-based detection methods for practical use.

Adiponectin and leptin are adipokines secreted by the adipose tissue that are associated with several chronic diseases including cancer. We aimed to compare the immunoassay platform ELLA with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit and to assess whether the results of the association analyses with breast cancer risk were dependent on the assay used. We measured adiponectin and leptin with ELLA and ELISA on baseline serum samples of 116 Italian postmenopausal women enrolled in two international breast cancer prevention trials. Results were compared with Deming, Passing–Bablok regression and Bland–Altman plots. Disease-free survival was analyzed with the Cox model. There was a good correlation between the methods for adiponectin and leptin (r > 0.96). We found an increased breast cancer risk for very low adiponectin levels (HR for ELLA = 3.75; 95% CI: 1.37;10.25, p = 0.01), whereas no significant association was found for leptin levels. The disease-free survival curves were almost identical for values obtained with the two methods, for both biomarkers. The ELLA platform showed a good concordance with ELISA for adiponectin and leptin measurements. Our results support the association of very low adiponectin levels with postmenopausal breast cancer risk, irrespective of the method used. The ELLA platform is a time-saving system with high reproducibility, therefore we recommend its use for biomarker assessment.

Q fever is a zoonosis caused by Coxiella burnetii, a Gram-negative pathogen with a complex life cycle and a high impact on public and animal health all over the world. The symptoms are indistinguishable from those belonging to other diseases, and the disease could be symptomless. For these reasons, reliable laboratory tests are essential for an accurate diagnosis. The aim of this study was to validate a novel enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test, named the Chorus Q Fever Phase II IgG and IgM Kit (DIESSE, Diagnostica Senese S.p.A), which is performed by an instrument named Chorus, a new device in medical diagnostics. This diagnostic test is employed for the detection of antibodies against C. burnetii Phase II antigens in acute disease. Our validation protocol was performed according to the Italian Accreditation Body (ACCREDIA) (Regulation UNI CEI EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018 and 17043:2010), OIE (World Organization for Animal Health), and Statement for Reporting Studies of Diagnostic Accuracy (STARD). Operator performance was evaluated along with the analytical specificity and sensitivity (ASp and ASe) and diagnostic accuracy of the kit, with parameters such as diagnostic specificity and sensitivity (DSp and DSe) and positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV), in addition to the repeatability. According to the evaluated parameters, the diagnostic ELISA test was shown to be suitable for validation and commercialization as a screening method in human sera and a valid support for clinical diagnostics.
