Abstract

Flexuous (potexvirus-like) and rod-shaped (tobamovirus-like) particles observed in leaf-dip preparations by transmission electron microscopy RT-qPCR analyses using the ToBRFV-specific primer sets CaTa28 and CSP1325 (International Seed Federation, 2020) gave strong positive results with Cq values of 8.4 and 10.8, respectively. After removal of the plants, cleaning of the infrastructure and steam disinfection of the soil, an initial surface analysis using 245 cotton swabs showed high virus titre in samples collected on the fruit packing machines, scissor lifts and overhead heaters. [...]an additional cleaning was performed, followed by disinfection with commercial benzoic acid (MENNO Florades) before a second surface analysis. [...]the 2022 production will switch entirely to hydroponics in order to reduce the risk of the outbreak restarting from infected plant debris in the soil.
