Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a marine seafood-borne pathogen that causes gastrointestinal disorders in humans. In this study, we developed a cross-priming amplification (CPA) assay coupled with vertical flow (VF) visualization for rapid and sensitive detection of V. parahaemolyticus. This assay correctly detected all target strains (n = 13) and none of the non-target strains (n = 27). Small concentrations of V. parahaemolyticus (1.8 CFU/mL for pure cultures and 18 CFU/g for reconstituted samples) were detected within 1 h. CPA-VF can be applied at a large scale and can be used to detect V. parahaemolyticus strains rapidly in seafood and environmental samples, being especially useful in the field.

Toxoplasma gondii, an obligate intracellular protozoan, infects almost all warm-blooded animals and humans, with felines serving as its sole definitive hosts. Cats release T. gondii oocysts into the environment through feces, contributing to environmental contamination that can lead to toxoplasmosis in humans upon exposure through ingestion of contaminated food, water, or soil.

Red sea bream iridovirus (RSIV) occurs mainly at high water temperatures and infects more than 30 different species of fish. In Asia, infected fish cause mass mortality every year. Molecular diagnostics is a technology that efficiently detects and identifies a wide range of fish pathogens through rapid and sensitive analysis of their genetic material.

Objective: Assessing the accuracy of automated EasyNAT system for rapidly detecting paraffin-embedded tissue for the diagnosis of tuberculosis.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 134 patients, comprising 101 with confirmed tuberculosis and 33 without tuberculosis, treated at Beijing Chest Hospital, Capital Medical University, between 2018 and 2022.The clinical diagnostic results served as the standard for assessing the diagnostic performance of the EasyNAT system in comparison to quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) for tuberculosis detection in paraffin-embedded tissues.

Background: Diagnosis of tuberculous pleural effusion (TPE) remains challenging. Studies have shown that detecting cell-free (cf-TB) DNA in pleural effusion can improve TPE diagnosis. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of our recently developed TB One-Pot assay, which combines cross-priming amplification with CRISPR-Cas12b, in detecting cf-TB for TPE.
