Completed project
Protecting Australian citrus germplasm through improved diagnostic tools project (CT14009)
Publication date: December 14, 2018
Delivery Partner: NSW Department of Primary Industries
Running from 2014 into 2018, this project was responsible for supporting the NSW DPI Citrus Pathology Program team, in collaboration with Auscitrus, in assessing, developing and validating laboratory diagnostic procedures for a number of endemic graft-transmissible pathogens of citrus, to help secure the high health status of the Australian citrus industry.
By nature these activities were largely technical, and were all geared towards ensuring Australia is using the most reliable, sensitive and efficient testing methods available.
