Poorani, J., Anuradha, C., Mohanasundaram, A., Thanigairaj, R., Samuel, P., & Baskar, N. 2026 A recombinase polymerase amplification-based rapid diagnostic assay for Dysmicoccus neobrevipes, a serious pest of banana in India, with notes on the damage symptoms, natural enemies, and management. Molecular Biology Reports 53: 583

Notes: In this study, the authors developed a single-step, single-tube RPA assay for the rapid and specific detection of D. neobrevipes, enabling simultaneous amplification and visual interpretation without gel electrophoresis or specialized instrumentation. Additionally, they document banana fruit damage caused by this species, its natural enemies, and biopesticide-based management options, contributing to integrated strategies for sustainable banana production and phytosanitary assurance. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11033-026-11750-w
