Valitest EU Project

A multi actor project to generate validation data and improve processes for plant pest diagnostic

[EPPO OEPP @EPPOnews]

The new EPPO Standard 'PM 7/151 (1) Considerations for the use of high throughput sequencing in plant health diagnostics' is now freely available in the EPPO Bulletin.
Thanks to the Valitest partners and the EPPO Panel on Diagnostics and QA.
