detecting bacteria and viruses in plants

[Rifat Hamoudi]

Hi,
	Does anyone know of a method or a place where they carry 
out diagnostics on plants. I am interested in knowing whether 
anybody has developed a generic technique for detecting the 
presence of bacteria or virus in plants.

The method has to be generic i.e. not specific to a particular 
virus or bacteria. 

If anyone knows of a method or can think of a method please let 
me know.

Thanks.
