As one of the top 10 plant viruses, the severity of losses to crop productivity caused by the tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) has resulted in an urgent need to develop a more sensitive and rapid method of detection. In this study, we developed a CRISPR/Cas13a-based detection system to diagnose TSWV in tomato and western flower thrips ( Frankliniella occidentalis ). The detection system relies on recombinase polymerase amplification and Cas13a-mediated collateral cleavage activity. Positive results can be distinguished after 20 min by a significantly enhanced fluorescence signal. We tested the sensitivity of CRISPR/Cas13a-based detection system and found that the detection system that we developed has limits of detection that reaches 2.26 × 10 2  copies/μl and a 10-fold increase compared with the sensitivity of using RT-PCR to detect the virus. Furthermore, the CRISPR/Cas13a-based detection system has a high selectivity for the TSWV without interference from other viruses. The CRISPR/Cas13a-based detection system was utilized to detect the TSWV in samples of tomato leaves and the transmission vector  F. occidentalis  that were fully consistent with the results when RT-PCR was used to detect the virus.
