To establish a reverse-transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) method for rapid detection of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), four primers specific to six regions of the VP3 gene were designed; the VP3 region was selected because it is a conserved part of the IBDV genome. After amplification in an isothermal water bath for 70 min, samples containing IBDV generated the expected ladder-like products while other viruses generated no product. The sensitivity and specificity of the RT-LAMP assay were evaluated by comparison with reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and virus isolation. The assay was significantly more sensitive than normal gel-based RT-PCR. Because it is specific and simple, the RT-LAMP assay can be widely applied in clinical laboratories for rapid detection of IBVD.

Rhinoviruses (RVs), particularly RV-C, frequently cause acute respiratory infections and asthma exacerbations. However, there is a lack of routine detection methods. Thus, this study aims to develop a rapid molecular and differential diagnostic detection method for RV-C using the reverse transcription (RT) loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) approach.

Article Synopsis
- Early diagnosis of HIV is crucial for starting antiretroviral therapy and preventing further infections, but traditional testing methods require expensive lab equipment and trained staff, which are often lacking in low-resource areas.
- A new low-cost testing platform has been developed that integrates HIV nucleic acid extraction and amplification in a portable device, allowing for testing without standard lab infrastructure.
- This platform was validated using both spiked plasma samples and clinical samples, showing effective detection of HIV and the potential for use in point-of-care settings.

Introduction: Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) is a common viral pathogen that causes considerable economic loss globally. In the present study, a commercial realtime PCR test system and custom loop mediated amplification primers were used to detect the virus in asymptomatic sugar beet samples.
Methods: A total of 107 of 124 samples tested positive for the presence of the A type BNYVV coat protein gene.

The rapid and accurate detection of SARS-CoV-2 in environmental settings is crucial for effective public health management during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study compares the performance of the Reverse Transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and the Reverse Transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) for SARS-CoV-2 detection from 100 surface samples collected in healthcare environments. The reference method, RT-qPCR, identified a percentage of 25% of positive samples, while RT-LAMP detected a percentage of 27% of positive surfaces.
