Abstract
ABSTRACTMonoclonal antibodies have been produced against culture forms of Phytomonas francai and Phytomonas serpens parasites, respectively, in cassava roots and tomato fruits. These monoclonal antibodies have been tested against 5 other Phytomonas spp. isolated from plants and 14 species of trypanosomatids of various genera. Monoclonal antibodies were found to react exclusively with Phytomonas spp., always giving negative results with other trypanosomatid genera. Thus, these monoclonal antibodies seem to be an effective tool for the identification of phytomonads among insect trypanosomatids.
