Abstract
The present invention features compositions and methods for detecting Huanglongbing (HLB) in citrus trees and insects. In one aspect, the invention provides a method of detecting a Huanglongbing (HLB) infection in a citrus grove involving obtaining an extract from a biological sample derived from a citrus grove, contacting the extract with forward and reverse primers that specifically bind anucleic acid molecule in the presence of a nicking enzyme, dNTPs, and a polymerase under conditions permissive for the isothermal amplification of the nucleic acid molecule; and detecting aamplicon in the extract.
