The detection throughout the year of latent and ILAR viruses in fruit trees by classical serological tests appears to be unreliable. Recently, these problems have smoothed themselves out by the use of molecular methods. We have developed RT-PCR protocols which are simple and reliable for routine detection of these viruses throughout the year.
