However, diagnosis of mixed viral infections in the same host plants can be tedious, costly and challenging. This study aims to establish a rapid, sensitive, and specific duplex recombinase polymerase amplification-lateral flow dipstick (RPA-LFD) assay to simultaneously detect TYLCV and\/or ToLCNDV in co-infected samples. We constructed an infectious clone from a ToLCNDV strain of the Asian clade isolated from a diseased cucumber plant in China, and confirmed that it could co-infect\n                    <jats:italic>Nicotiana benthamiana<\/jats:italic>\n                    together with an infectious clone of the TYLCV-IL strain, providing the defined viral inoculum for method development and validation. An optimal duplex RPA-LFD assay was developed by screening specific RPA primers and probes targeting conserved sequences of both viruses and optimizing reaction parameters, which produced interpretable results directly on a test strip after 20 min at 39 \u00b0C. With the purified plasmid DNA, the analytical limits of detection of the duplex RPA-LFD for TYLCV and ToLCNDV were 10\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    and 10\n                    <jats:sup>1<\/jats:sup>\n                    copies\/\u03bcL, respectively. No cross-reactions were detected against three other begomoviruses. Further validation using total DNA from co-inoculated\n                    <jats:italic>N. benthamiana<\/jats:italic>\n                    and field-collected samples showed high consistency with conventional PCR, and the assay effectively distinguished single-virus from mixed infections. This duplex RPA-LFD assay provides a reliable diagnostic for detecting and surveying co-infections caused by TYLCV and ToLCNDV.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmicb.2026.1940758","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,30]],"date-time":"2026-09-30T06:05:31Z","timestamp":1790748331000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Construction of an infectious clone of tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus and development of a duplex assay through recombinase polymerase amplification-lateral flow dipstick to detect the virus and tomato yellow leaf curl virus simultaneously"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Ning","family":"Qiao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Shandong Provincial University Laboratory of Green Diseases and Pests Management in Protected Vegetables, Weifang University of Science and Technology","place":["Shouguang, Shandong, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuxing","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shandong Provincial University Laboratory of Green Diseases and Pests Management in Protected Vegetables, Weifang University of Science and Technology","place":["Shouguang, Shandong, China"]},{"name":"School of Life Sciences, Yunnan Normal University","place":["Kunming, Yunnan, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yao","family":"Meng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shandong Provincial University Laboratory of Green Diseases and Pests Management in Protected Vegetables, Weifang University of Science and Technology","place":["Shouguang, Shandong, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiao","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shandong Provincial University Laboratory of Green Diseases and Pests Management in Protected Vegetables, Weifang University of Science and Technology","place":["Shouguang, Shandong, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xin","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shandong Provincial University Laboratory of Green Diseases and Pests Management in Protected Vegetables, Weifang University of Science and Technology","place":["Shouguang, Shandong, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lihao","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shandong Provincial University Laboratory of Green Diseases and Pests Management in Protected Vegetables, Weifang University of Science and Technology","place":["Shouguang, Shandong, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Huijie","family":"Dai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shandong Provincial University Laboratory of Green Diseases and Pests Management in Protected Vegetables, Weifang University of Science and Technology","place":["Shouguang, Shandong, China"]},{"name":"Shandong Vocational Animal Science and Veterinary College","place":["Weifang, Shandong, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaoan","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shandong Provincial University Laboratory of Green Diseases and Pests Management in Protected Vegetables, Weifang University of Science and Technology","place":["Shouguang, Shandong, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiumei","family":"Ni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shandong Provincial University Laboratory of Green Diseases and Pests Management in Protected Vegetables, Weifang University of Science and Technology","place":["Shouguang, Shandong, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"53","DOI":"10.7171\/jbt.16-2702-001","article-title":"Rapid, effective DNA isolation from osmanthus via modified alkaline lysis","volume":"27","author":"Alexander","year":"2016","journal-title":"J.
