Banana bract mosaic virus (BBrMV) causes one of the major viral diseases of the fiber crop abaca at a great economic loss in the Philippines. A one-step reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay was developed to detect BBrMV. A set of six primer pairs was designed based on the conserved coat protein gene sequences of BBrMV. The RT-LAMP can be completed in 30 min and was 100,000-fold more sensitive than RT-PCR. The RT-LAMP assay is suitable for field detection of BBrMV using crude RNA extracts and fluorescent DNA intercalating dyes that produce easily visualized results.
