Abstract
Cucurbit chlorotic yellows virus (CCYV) of the genus Crinivirus and family Closteroviridae, is an emerging infectious agent transmitted by whiteflies that mainly infects cucumber, melon and watermelon plants. Here, we developed a procedure based on reverse transcription (RT) followed by loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) to detect CCYV in real-time by using a fluorescent dye and incubating at 65 °C. This method detected CCYV in RNA extracts at about 10 min and in nylon membrane-filtered crude extracts between 55 and 95 min. The detection was sensitive, ten times higher than RT followed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and specifically detecting different isolates of CCYV without cross-reaction with other viruses of the same genus. This procedure enables the simultaneous analyses of multiple samples, allowing for rapid, sensitive and specific detection of CCYV. By using membrane-filtered crude extracts, RNA purification is unnecessary, so the whole process can be performed in the field with a portable heater and fluorometer, facilitating a rapid response for disease control.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Virological Methods focuses on original, high quality research papers that describe novel and comprehensively tested methods which enhance human, animal, plant, bacterial or environmental virology and prions research and discovery.
The methods may include, but not limited to, the study of:
Viral components and morphology-
Virus isolation, propagation and development of viral vectors-
Viral pathogenesis, oncogenesis, vaccines and antivirals-
Virus replication, host-pathogen interactions and responses-
Virus transmission, prevention, control and treatment-
Viral metagenomics and virome-
Virus ecology, adaption and evolution-
Applied virology such as nanotechnology-
Viral diagnosis with novelty and comprehensive evaluation.
We seek articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses and laboratory protocols that include comprehensive technical details with statistical confirmations that provide validations against current best practice, international standards or quality assurance programs and which advance knowledge in virology leading to improved medical, veterinary or agricultural practices and management.
