Identification of a novel BBWV2 isolate and a sensitive and rapid RT-RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a-LFD detection method development.
PubMed · 2026-02-11
Researchers identified a new strain of a virus that devastates vegetable crops and built a fast, portable test that can detect it in the field within an hour — no lab equipment needed.
1
A new isolate of Broad Bean Wilt Virus 2 (BBWV2-GZCa) was discovered infecting peppers in Guizhou Province, China.
2
The new RT-RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a lateral flow test detects as few as 7.5 virus copies per microliter — 100,000 times more sensitive than conventional RT-PCR.
3
The assay achieved 100% accuracy on 20 field-collected samples and can be completed in under one hour with no specialized equipment.
