Rapid Detection of Strawberry Mild Yellow Edge Virus with a Lateral Flow Strip Reverse Transcription Recombinase Polymerase Amplification Assay

In this study, a reverse transcription recombinase polymerase amplification combined with lateral flow strip (SMYEV-RT-RPA-LF), targeting the conserved genome of Beijing SMYEV isolate, was established to diagnose SMYEV in strawberries. The SMYEV-RT-RPA-LF assay showed no cross-reaction with other strawberry viruses. The sensitivity of SMYEV-RT-RPA-L assay was 100 times higher than that of RT-PCR (10 pg/μL). In addition, through the detection of suspected samples in the field, it was found that the accuracy of SMYEV-RT-RPA-L assay was consistent with the RT-PCR results. However, compared with RT-PCR, SMYEV-RT-RPA-LF assay has the advantages of simple operation, time savings, and high specificity and sensitivity, indicating the potential application of SMYEV-RT-RPA-LF in the rapid field diagnosis of SMYEV.PMID:36253613 | DOI:10.1007/s00284-022-03045-7
