Raman spectral analysis of pathogens
First Claim
1. A method of assessing occurrence of a plant pathogen in a sample, the method comprising irradiating the sample and assessing radiation scattered from the sample for radiation that exhibits a Raman scattering characteristic of the plant pathogen, wherein detection of scattered radiation that exhibits a Raman shift characteristic of the pathogen is an indication that the pathogen occurs in the sample.
