Maize chlorotic mottle virus (MCMV) is one of the important quarantine pathogens in China. It often co-infects with one or two viruses in the family and causes maize lethal necrosis disease. Therefore, an accurate and sensitive method for the detection of MCMV is urgently needed.

Thus, rapid and accurate detection methods for SRBSDV are urgently needed. Recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) is a novel technique for rapid and sensitive detection of nucleic acids.

Maize chlorotic mottle virus (MCMV) can cause lethal necrosis in maize (Zea mays) when it coinfects with a virus in the Potyviridae family. However, the MCMV pathogenicity determinant remains largely unknown.
