Chicken anemia virus (CAV) infection has been reported in various poultry industries worldwide. Since CAV infection is becoming increasingly prevalent, especially in local chickens of China, rapid CAV detection has become essential. The conventional diagnostic methods are time consuming and need special expertise. Therefore, in this study, we developed a specific and sensitive loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for CAV detection by using multiple sequence alignment of VP2. This assay was performed at 61°C for 1 h, and there was no non-specific reaction to common avian disease viruses. The detection limit was 65 copies of viral DNA; thus, this assay showed similar sensitivity to quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) but it was more sensitive than conventional PCR. Moreover, this assay was performed using clinical samples. The LAMP assay results were 83.6% correlated to the PCR results of the clinical samples, indicating that this method is an effective tool for the rapid detection of CAV.

typically causes mild respiratory infections but can rarely lead to severe complications. We report a case of a 43-year-old immunocompetent male who presented with progressive dyspnea and respiratory failure with bilateral pulmonary infiltrates, refractory to outpatient treatment with azithromycin, ceftriaxone, and levofloxacin. Bronchoscopy revealed multiple white plaques in the trachea and diffuse alveolar hemorrhage.

Background: The loop-mediated isothermal amplification for TB (TB-LAMP) assay is more cost-effective and accessible than the Xpert MTB/RIF assay. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the TB-LAMP assay in individuals with and without HIV infection.

Methods: Patients aged ≥15 years presenting with symptoms of TB were included in the study.

Most poultry farming that has been conducted by smallholders in Thailand are free-range and housing systems, which have risks of parasitic infection from the environment, particularly from tapeworms in the genus Raillietina and trematodes in the family Echinostomatidae. These have become important health problems in the poultry industry, causing low feed conversion ratios and leading to the loss of economic value. Our objective was to develop and validate a molecular technique based on duplex loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) together with lateral flow dipstick (LFD) assay for discriminating the infections between the genus Raillietina (R.

In this work, the electrochemical biosensor based on the subtle combination of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT), CRISPR/Cas14a, and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) was developed for the detection of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC)-derived exosomes. Due to the synergistic effect of the following factors: the powerful elongation capacity of TdT for single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) with 3-hydroxy terminus, the outstanding trans-cleavage ability of CRISPR/Cas14a specifcally activated by the crRNA binding to target DNA, and the excellent separation ability of MNPs, the developed electrochemical biosensor exhibited high sensitivity for the detection of NPC-derived exosome, with a linear range from 6.0 × 10 ∼ 1.
