Improved methods for the purification and enrichment of banana streak virus f…

The purification of viruses from bananas is a complex and laborious process due to the large quantities of polysaccharides and secondary metabolites in the plant tissue. The banana streak viruses (BSVs) are generally difficult to purify to a level that allows generation of high quality antisera. This study presents an improved method of purification of Banana streak MY virus (BSMYV), which al…
