Clubroot caused by is a serious threat to cruciferous crops around the world. The resting spores of are a primary source of infection and can survive in soil for many years. Detection of resting spores in soil is essential for forecasting clubroot prevalence. Detection of has been relying on plant bioassays or PCR-based methods. The loop-mediated isothermal DNA amplification (LAMP) is a promising approach for microorganism detection with the advantage of high sensitivity, accuracy, and convenience in viewing. In this study, we developed a LAMP assay for detection of in soil, roots, and seeds. This method can detect at a minimal amount of 1 fg of plasmid DNA or 10 resting spores in the soil. Compared with conventional PCR, the LAMP was more sensitive in detection of at the lower levels in soil samples. In conclusion, we elaborated a sensitive, accurate, and easy-to-use LAMP assay to detect , which will facilitate sustainable clubroot management and planning.

Multiplex digital nucleic acid analysis (NAA) allows the precise quantification of multiple target nucleic acids with single-molecule sensitivity, making it highly appealing for life science research and clinical diagnostics. Nucleic acid-guided endonucleases, such as CRISPR, have demonstrated great potential in digital NAA. However, performing multiplex digital NAA with an endonuclease remains challenging.

Background: Point of need diagnostics provide efficient testing capability for remote or austere locations, decreasing the time to answer by minimizing travel or sample transport requirements. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is an appealing technology for point-of-need diagnostics due to its rapid analysis time and minimal instrumentation requirements.
Methods: Here, we designed and optimized nine LAMP assays that are sensitive and specific to targeted bacterial select agents including Bacillus anthracis, Francisella tularensis, Yersinia pestis, and Brucella spp.

Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is a global animal pathogen. Traditional identification methods are time-consuming necessitating a more efficient approach. This study validated and enhanced the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) technique by integration it with a lateral flow dipstick (LFD) assay for the detection of S.

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.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected global health, economies, and societies, and highlighted the urgent need for rapid, sensitive, affordable, and portable diagnostic devices for respiratory diseases, especially in areas with limited resources. In recent years, there has been rapid development in integrated equipments using microfluidic chips and biochemical detection technologies. However, these devices are expensive and complex to operate, showing limited feasibility for in point of care tests (PoCTs).
