Sensitive and rapid point-of-care assays have been crucial in the global response to SARS-CoV-2. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) has emerged as an important diagnostic tool given its simplicity and minimal equipment requirements, although limitations exist regarding sensitivity and the methods used to detect reaction products. We describe the development of Vivid COVID-19 LAMP, which leverages a metallochromic detection system utilizing zinc ions and a zinc sensor, 5-Br-PAPS, to circumvent the limitations of classic detection systems dependent on pH indicators or magnesium chelators.

- Viral infections from families such as Zika and Dengue pose significant challenges for diagnosis and tracking due to their short duration in the blood, vague symptoms, and laboratory cross-reactivity.
- In Central Europe, West Nile, Usutu, and tick-borne encephalitis viruses are the main endemic flaviviruses, causing serious neurological diseases and complicating blood and organ safety during transplants.
- The rise in co-circulation of these viruses highlights the inadequacy of current diagnostic methods, leading experts to advocate for the urgent adoption of advanced techniques like next-generation sequencing and urine screening in clinical practices.
Human and animal vector-borne diseases, particularly mosquito-borne diseases, are emerging or re-emerging worldwide. Six invasive mosquito (AIM) species were introduced to Europe since the 1970s: , , , , and . Here, we report the results of AIMSurv2020, the first pan-European surveillance effort for AIMs.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: The purpose of the study was to search for variables that show a relationship with coping with stress as well as to search for the possibility of predicting a stress coping mechanism in the studied adolescents. Two questions were formulated in the study: Are mental resilience and communication with peers significant predictors of coping with stress in the studied group? To what extent will the analysed predictors explain individual strategies to cope with stress?
Participants And Procedure: The study involved three tools: the Resilience Measurement Scale (RMS-18), the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations Questionnaire (CISS), and the Scale of Communication of Adolescents with Peers (SCAP). The study was carried out on a randomly selected group of 546 adolescents.
