Loop-mediated amplification (LAMP) amplifies specific nucleotide sequences but unlike PCR, it runs at a single temperature and positive reactions can be visualized with the naked eye so fragile instrumentation is not required. We have developed a one step, single-tube, accelerated, FMDVspecific RT-LAMP assay for the rapid detection of all seven serotypes of the virus, using primers designed aga...

Viral myocarditis is a moderate disease, but it sometimes causes progressive cardiac disorder. Many different viruses have been considered as the agent of viral myocarditis, but Coxsackievirus of the B group, in particular of the Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3), is more than fifty percent of cases of viral myocarditis. CVB3 is a positive single-stranded RNA virus and a member of the genus Enterovirus ...

Human enterovirus 71 (EV71) is the major causative agent of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) worldwide and has been associated with neurological complications which resulted in fatalities during recent outbreak in Asia pacific region. A direct reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (direct RT-LAMP) assay using heat-treated samples without RNA extraction was developed a...

BACKGROUND Early and rapid detection of dengue virus (DENV) infection during the febrile period is crucial for proper patient management and prevention of disease spread. An easy to perform and highly sensitive method is needed for routine implementation especially in the resource-limited rural healthcare settings where dengue is endemic. METHODS A single-tube reverse transcription-loop-media...

The aim of this study was to produce a sensitive, simple and rapid diagnostic method for the detection of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) in suspected cases of FMD, a one-step single-tube method of reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal polymerase amplification (RT-LAMP). A set of six common primers was designed to target the highly conserved region of the RNA polymerase 3Dpol gene ...

Objective: Reverse transcriptase loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) is one of the time-saving, accurate, and cost-effective alternative methods to real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). This study aimed identify robustness a colorimetric RT-LAMP assay kit that we developed, detecting SARS-COV-2 viral RNA within 30 minutes using primer set special N gene against RT-PCR, gold...

Highly sensitive and field deployable molecular diagnostic tools are critically needed for detecting submicroscopic, yet transmissible levels of malaria parasites prevalent in malaria endemic countries worldwide. A reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay was developed and evaluated in comparison with thick blood smear microscopy, an antigen-based rapid diagn...

BACKGROUND Bovine rotavirus (BRV) infection is common in young calves. This viral infection causes acute diarrhea leading to death. Rapid identification of infected calves is essential to control BRV successfully. Therefore development of simple, highly specific, and sensitive detection method for BRV is needed. RESULTS A reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) ...

The primary step for efficient control of viral diseases is the development of simple, rapid, and sensitive virus detection. Reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) has been used to detect viral RNA molecules because of its simplicity and high sensitivity for a number of viruses. RT-LAMP for the detection of Potato virus X (PVX) was developed and compared with con...

A severe disease in humans caused by a novel avian-origin influenza A (H7N9) virus emerged in China recently, which has caused at least 128 cases and 26 deaths. Rapid detection of the novel H7N9 virus is urgently needed to differentiate the disease from other infections, and to facilitate infection control as well as epidemiologic investigations. In this study, a reverse transcription loop-medi...
