Evaluation and application of reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification for detection of noroviruses

Rapid detection of infectious bursal disease by loop-mediated isothermal amplification for field analysis

Infectious bursal disease (IBD) is an immunosuppressive, acute and highly contagious illness of growing-poultry stock infected with infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV). It is common in Pakistan, causing potential economic losses throughout the year. The objective of the study is to propose a rapid, sensitive and specific diagnostic tool, and compare it with existing commonly used reverse tra...

Reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay for rapid detection of Bovine Rotavirus

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) ...

Rapid Detection of West Nile Virus for Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Real-Time Reverse Transcription

Reverse transcription-loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay for rapid detection of hepatitis E virus.

The one-step single-tube betaine-free reverse transcription (RT)-loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay was developed for rapid diagnosis of hepatitis E virus. This assay amplified the target gene in less than 45 min (even as short as 20 min) under isothermal conditions at 63 degrees C, and the sensitivity of this assay was 100-fold greater than that of RT-PCR. This assay demonstrated a d...

Real-time reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification for rapid detection of West Nile virus.

A one-step, single tube, real-time accelerated reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay was developed for detecting the envelope gene of West Nile (WN) virus. The RT-LAMP assay is a novel method of gene amplification that amplifies nucleic acid with high specificity, efficiency, and rapidity under isothermal conditions with a set of six specially designed pri...
