– The Maize dwarf mosaic virus (MDMV) ImmunoStrip® is used to detect the presence of MDMV in corn and other gramineous crops. Maize dwarf mosaic virus is a potyvirus that naturally infects members of the Poaceae (grass) family, such as corn, sorghum and Johnsongrass. It is transmitted by corn seed and by a broad range of aphids in a non-persistent manner. Visual symptoms include mosaic or mottle, commonly near the base of young leaves, which under hot weather may turn into chlorosis. Severe infection may induce stunting and poor seed. ImmunoStrips® are the perfect screening tool for use in the field, greenhouse, and the lab.
