Abstract: ) is prevalent in Chinese kiwifruit, leading to substantial yield reduction. The intricate nature of symptoms presents diagnostic challenges, underscoring the necessity for a rapid and accurate detection method that facilitates effective control. In this investigation, AcCRaV isolates from key kiwi-producing regions in Sichuan province were collected and analyzed, with representative strains chosen as experimental materials. Primers targeting the nucleoprotein gene of AcCRaV were designed, and their codon usage was optimized to enhance performance. Various serological methods utilizing polyclonal antibodies were developed, including ELISA, dot immunobinding assay, and AcCRaV-specific gold immunochromatographic bands (AcCRaV-GICS). Field samples exhibited high specificity and sensitivity when tested using these methods. Furthermore, the results obtained from a large number of field samples are consistent with those derived from RT-PCR analysis, further validating the applicability of our approach. A detection method capable of handling a large volume of field samples infected with AcCRaV is currently lacking; thus, our system construction provides an important reference for addressing this gap.
