laboratories in US for virus testing?

Rick Buell asks
"What labs in the US or elsewhere have you used for testing? Can you
describe the approximate expense of this service?"
and I too would appreciate this information. There is a 1997
publication from UC Davis with the promising title
"Easy On-Site Tests for Fungi and Viruses in Nurseries and Greenhouses".

Although that was written 17 years ago perhaps some of it is still
relevant. On page 2 it gives a useful overview of virus diagnosis,
then introduces the ELISA technique. Is this ELISA the technique
currently used? "The virus test kits require more skill and
patience ..." so perhaps sending material to a lab is a better option.
Would a test kit for crops be relevant to testing our bulb plants?
