Abstract: Virus is known as one of the smallest creatures in nature,its morphology and size can only be observed and identified by electron microscopy enlarging it by tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of times. The virus is strictly parasitic so that its growth and reproduction depend on the host cell. Plant viruses are an important part of the virus family. The plant virus disease,which affects the growth and development of plants and decreases the yield and quality,is increasingly serious year by year. Due to the numerous varieties of viruses and complex damage mechanisms,it is difficult to prevent and control the viral diseases. This article reviews the major methods of detecting plant virus as well as the technologies of virus-elimination and its application in recent years. Further,the article discusses the issues which need to be paid attention to in the virus-elimination. Finally,the article forecasts the future research direction for providing references and theoretical basis for further study.

Key words: plant virus, plant disease detection, virus-elimination method
