About CymMV, ORSV, and other orchid viruses. Protect your orchid collection and nursery stock with rapid field tests, lab ELISA kits, and molecular detection for critical pathogen screening.
Authorized Agdia DistributorShips Across CanadaCAD Pricing
Regular pathogen testing protects your investment in orchid stock and ensures healthy, disease-free plants.
✓
CymMV Prevention
Cymbidium mosaic virus causes permanent leaf mottling and flower damage. Early detection with ImmunoStrip tests prevents spread through propagation material and protects your entire collection.
✓
ORSV Detection
Odontoglossum ringspot virus creates distinctive ring-spot patterns and makes orchids unmarketable. Rapid testing catches infections before distribution to customers or other growers.
⚠
Fungal Root Protection
Pythium and Rhizoctonia thrive in warm, humid orchid greenhouses. Molecular detection enables early intervention before root rot destroys expensive stock.
✓
Clean Propagation Stock
Testing tissue culture (TC) material before potting ensures disease-free plants enter your production pipeline. Critical for maintaining propagation nursery reputation.
✓
Import/Export Compliance
International orchid trade requires health certificates. Regular testing with certified protocols ensures your plants meet border requirements and customer specifications.
✓
Multiple Technologies
From rapid field scouting to lab certification to molecular confirmation, we have the right tool for every stage of orchid production and quality control.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about orchid pathogen testing with Agdia kits in Canada.
Cymbidium mosaic virus (CymMV) is one of the most widespread and economically damaging viruses in commercial orchid production. CymMV causes persistent leaf mottling, mottle-necrosis, and flower damage that renders orchids unsaleable. Infected mother plants create cascading losses through propagation material. Early detection with Agdia’s ImmunoStrip (ISK 33001 or STX 33001) is essential for protecting your propagation stock and maintaining plant value. Regular testing of incoming cuttings and tissue culture material prevents CymMV spread through your entire collection.
Odontoglossum ringspot virus (ORSV) causes distinctive ring-spot and oak-leaf patterns on orchid leaves and flowers. The virus spreads through contaminated propagation tools and infected cuttings, especially in high-humidity greenhouse environments. ORSV eliminates commercial value of orchids due to visible leaf damage and flower distortion. Agdia’s ORSV tests (ISK 13301 for field screening, SRA 54301 for lab confirmation) enable rapid detection of infected propagation material before distribution. Strict testing protocols with ORSV-specific kits are essential for maintaining clean stock.
ImmunoStrip® tests are rapid lateral-flow tests delivering results in 30 minutes — ideal for quick screening of incoming plants or cuttings with no lab equipment needed. ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) reagent sets are lab-based tests for systematic screening of large propagation batches. AmplifyRP® XRT uses isothermal molecular amplification for fungal and oomycete pathogens like Pythium and Rhizoctonia, which require molecular detection for reliable results. Many professional orchid nurseries use a combination of all three technologies: ImmunoStrip for initial scouting, ELISA for batch verification, and AmplifyRP for fungal pathogen confirmation.
Yes. Immunomart is the authorized Canadian distributor for Agdia’s complete range of plant diagnostic test kits, including all orchid pathogen tests. We supply from Canada, with prices in Canadian dollars. We serve orchid nurseries, greenhouse operations, tissue culture labs, and orchid breeding programs across all provinces.
Orchid tissue culture (TC) material must be screened for CymMV, ORSV, and other systemic viruses to ensure clean propagation. Use Agdia’s ImmunoStrip tests (ISK 13301, ISK 33001, STX 13301, STX 33001) for rapid screening of TC plantlets before potting. For comprehensive certification, use ELISA Reagent Sets (SRA 33001 for CymMV, SRA 54301 for ORSV) to systematically test entire batches. Combine viral testing with AmplifyRP XRT for fungal screening (Rhizoctonia, Pythium) to ensure clean, disease-free TC stock entering your propagation pipeline.
