Abstract
The present invention provides an isolated binding reagent that specifically binds to a recombinant Cocoa Swollen Shoot Virus (CSSV) coat protein antigen having at least 80% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 or 4 and/or at least 80% sequence identity to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 3. A porous membrane based sensor for detecting CSSV comprising a recombinant CSSV coat protein antigen and a method for detecting CSSV using the sensor are also provided. A competitive ELISA for detecting viral infections in plants is also provided.
