The EURL Proficiency Test for 2022 is based on the detection and identification of Tilletia indica, by both morphological and molecular methods.

This PT will be opened only to European Union National Reference Laboratories (EU-NRLs), and will start on end-November with the call for registration. 

The shipment of the molecular biology panels is planned for the 9th of January, while the shipment of the morphology panels is scheduled for the 2nd of May. The deadline for submitting PT results is early June.

Moreover, the EURL will organise an online "informative session" addressed to EU-NRLs where the context of the PT and different aspects will be discusses, as well as the possible methods participants can use for the detection and identification of this pathogen.
