The objective of this study is to compare and assess the effectiveness real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), selective agar plate method for detection Salmonella spp. Listeria monocytogenes in ready-to-eat (RTE) foods. In RTE foods, performance three methods (RT-PCR [SureTectTM kit PowerChekTM kit], LAMP [3M MDS], agar) were similar at 0-10...

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL), one of the most important neglected tropical diseases, is caused by Leishmania donovani eukaryotic protozoan parasite of the genus Leishmania, the disease is prevalent mainly in the Indian sub-continent, East Africa and Brazil. VL can be diagnosed by PCR amplifying ITS1 and/or kDNA genes. The current study involved the optimization of Loop-mediated isothermal amplif...

Ascidian soft tunic syndrome (AsSTS) caused by Azumiobodo hoyamushi (A. hoyamushi) is a serious aquaculture problem that results in mass mortality of ascidians. Accordingly, the early and accurate detection of A. hoyamushi would contribute substantially to disease management and prevention of transmission. Recently, the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method was adopted for clinic...

Real-time RT-PCR is used as a gold standard method for the diagnosis of COVID-19. Since real-time RT PCR nucleic acid-based, it highly sensitive and specific test. However, this test takes 4–8 h to generate results and, in emergency settings, delay may prove fatal certain patients. The frequent surge COVID cases increases patient load settings. Thus, acid-based rapid POC required that can quick...

Background and Objective: The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is still an ongoing challenge in health system worldwide. Molecular detection methods including reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) can help cutting off the transmission chain of the virus. In this study, prompt setting up of the RT-LAMP assays were investigated using ge...

BACKGROUND There is an increasing need for quantitative technologies suitable for molecular detection in a variety of settings for applications including food traceability and monitoring of genetically modified (GM) crops and their products through the food processing chain. Conventional molecular diagnostics utilising real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and fluorescence-based determin...

BACKGROUND Sheep poxvirus (SPPV), Goat poxvirus (GTPV) and Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) are the most serious poxviruses of ruminants. They are double stranded DNA viruses of the genus Capripoxvirus, (subfamily Chordopoxvirinae) within the family Poxviridae. The aim of this study was to develop a Loop-mediated isothermal AMPlification (LAMP) assay for the detection of Capripoxvirus (CaPV) DNA...

This review presents the basic principles of application loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) reaction for rapid diagnosis coronavirus infection caused by SARS-CoV-2. The technical details method, and most popular approaches specific non-specific detection products are briefly described. We also discuss first published works on use method nucleic acid SARS-CoV-2 virus, including those ...

Paper-based diagnostics offer a promising alternative to traditional diagnostic methods for point-of-care use due their low cost, ease of use, portability, rapid results, versatility, and environmental impact. While paper-based serology tests in the form lateral flow assays can provide test results past pathogen exposure, they currently lack accuracy sensitivity offered by molecular such as pol...

BACKGROUND The detection of Pneumocystis jirovecii DNA in respiratory specimen from individuals who do not have signs or symptoms of pneumonia has been defined as colonization. The role of P. jirovecii colonization in the development or progression of various lung diseases has been reported, but little information about P. jirovecii colonization in patients is available in the People's Republic...
