Abstract
Avian influenza outbreaks have had significant economic and public health consequences worldwide. Therefore, prompt, reliable, and cost-effective diagnostic devices are crucial for scrutinizing and confining highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIVs). Our study introduced and evaluated a novel paper-based loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) test for diagnosing the H5 subtype of the avian influenza virus (AIV). We meticulously designed and screened LAMP primers targeting the H5-haemagglutinin (H5-HA) gene of AIV and fine-tuned the paper-based detection assay for best performance. The paper-based LAMP assay demonstrated a detection limit of 500 copies per reaction (25 copies/µL). This inexpensive, user-friendly point-of-need diagnostic tool holds great promise, especially in resource-limited settings. It only requires a water bath for incubation and enables visual detection of results without special equipment. Overall, the paper-based LAMP assay provides a promising method for rapidly and reliably detecting the H5 subtype of AIV, contributing to improved surveillance and early intervention strategies.

Abstract
Aim: Influenza A virus (IAV) causes serious illness and is responsible for significant morbidity and mortality. To diagnose IAV infection in its early stages, a quick, sensitive, precise detection method is needed for effective clinical management. Materials & methods: In-house hydroxylnaphthol blue (HNB)-based RT-LAMP assay for early detection of IAV using the HA gene was compared with RT-PCR/multiplex-RT-PCR. Results: For the reference strains of IAV, (H1N1 (A/Texas/50/2012) and H3N2 (A/Malaysia/2089302/2009)) RT-LAMP and RT-PCR/M-RT-PCR exhibited a limit of detection (LOD) of 10 and 100 fg/ml, respectively. Conclusion: HNB-based RT-LAMP is a rapid, sensitive, cost-effective diagnostic tool, and could be a point-of-care test for IAV patients during outbreaks.

Abstract
While the research field and industrial market of in vitro diagnosis (IVD) thrived during and post the COVID-19 pandemic, the development of isothermal nucleic acid amplification test (INAAT) based rapid diagnosis was engendered in a global wised large measure as a problem-solving exercise. This review systematically analyzed the recent advances of INAAT strategies with practical case for the real-world scenario virus detection applications. With the qualities that make INAAT systems useful for making diagnosis relevant decisions, the key performance indicators and the cost-effectiveness of enzyme-assisted methods and enzyme-free methods were compared. The modularity of nucleic acid amplification reactions that can lead to thresholding signal amplifications using INAAT reagents and their methodology design were examined, alongside the potential application with rapid test platform/device integration. Given that clinical practitioners are, by and large, unaware of many the isothermal nucleic acid test advances. This review could bridge the arcane research field of different INAAT systems and signal output modalities with end-users in clinic when choosing suitable test kits and/or methods for rapid virus detection.

Abstract
Viruses are infectious agents that pose significant threats to plants, animals, and humans. The current coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, which is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has spread globally and resulted in over 2 million deaths and immeasurable financial losses. Rapid and sensitive virus diagnostics become crucially important in controlling the spread of a pandemic before effective treatment and vaccines are available. Gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-based testing holds great potential for this urgent unmet biomedical need. In this review, we describe the most recent advances in AuNP-based viral detection applications. In addition, we discuss considerations for the design of AuNP-based SARS-CoV-2 testings. Finally, we highlight and propose important parameters to consider for the future development of effective AuNP-based testings that would be critical for not only this COVID-19 pandemic, but also potential future outbreaks. This article is categorized under: Diagnostic Tools > Biosensing Diagnostic Tools > In Vitro Nanoparticle-Based Sensing.

Qualitative and Quantitative Detection of Potentially Virulent Vibrio parahaemolyticus in Drinking Water and Commonly Consumed Aquatic Products by Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification. Pathogens 2021; 11:10. [PMID: 35055958 PMCID: PMC8781264 DOI: 10.3390/pathogens11010010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2021] [Revised: 12/12/2021] [Accepted: 12/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Vibrio parahaemolyticus can cause acute gastroenteritis, wound infection, and septicemia in humans. In this study, a simple, specific, and user-friendly diagnostic tool was developed for the first time for the qualitative and quantitative detection of toxins and infection process-associated genes opaR, vpadF, tlh, and ureC in V. parahaemolyticus using the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) technique. Three pairs of specific inner, outer, and loop primers were designed for targeting each of these genes, and the results showed no cross-reaction with the other common Vibrios and non-Vibrios pathogenic bacteria. Positive results in the one-step LAMP reaction (at 65 °C for 45 min) were identified by a change to light green and the emission of bright green fluorescence under visible light and UV light (302 nm), respectively. The lowest limit of detection (LOD) for the target genes ranged from 1.46 × 10-5 to 1.85 × 10-3 ng/reaction (25 µL) for the genomic DNA, and from 1.03 × 10-2 to 1.73 × 100 CFU/reaction (25 µL) for the cell culture of V. parahaemolyticus. The usefulness of the developed method was demonstrated by the fact that the bacterium could be detected in water from various sources and commonly consumed aquatic product samples. The presence of opaR and tlh genes in the Parabramis pekinensis intestine indicated a risk of potentially virulent V. parahaemolyticus in the fish.

Abstract
A visual colorimetric rapid screening system based on a lateral flow device for simultaneous detection and differentiation between influenza A and B nucleoprotein as a model was developed. Monoclonal antibodies, specific for either influenza A or B nucleoproteins, were evaluated for their reactivities and were used as targeting ligands. With the best antibody pairs selected, the system exhibited good specificity to both viruses without cross reactivity to other closely related respiratory viruses. Further semi-quantitative analysis using a strip reader revealed that the system is capable of detecting influenza A and B protein content as low as 0.04 and 1 ng per test, respectively, using a sample volume as low as 100 μL, within 10 minutes (R2 = 0.9652 and 0.9718). With a performance comparison to the commercial tests, the system demonstrated a four-to-eight-fold higher sensitivity. Pre-clinical evaluation with 101 nasopharyngeal swabs reveals correlated results with a standard molecular approach, with 89% and 83% sensitivity towards influenza A and B viruses, and 100% specificity for both viruses.

Abstract
Schizophrenia is one of the most common central nervous system diseases, which is caused by abnormal discharge of neurons in the brain. Its occurrence and development are affected by both genetic and environmental factors. The variation of gene level can affect the development of schizophrenia and the treatment of prognosis by affecting the susceptibility, clinical phenotype and drug response. At present, the research results of susceptibility genes screened by candidate gene association research are not consistent. The method of gene recognition on DNA was studied by QCM and nano gold composite. By using this method, the enantioselective recognition of cysteine on cyclodextrin self-assembled membrane was studied. In this study, EAAT1 gene, which is highly expressed in astrocytes, was used as a candidate gene to analyze the relationship between polymorphism and schizophrenia. The experimental results show that the introduction of nano gold can significantly improve the sensing signal, detection sensitivity and gene differentiation. In addition, this study suggested that EAAT1 gene might be a susceptibility gene of schizophrenia in the population. The results showed that a common SNP allele rs1030239-g was the risk factor (83.8% vs. 79.2%, P = 0.00067, or = 1.35, 95% CI = 1.08-1.69). The results showed that A-T-G increased the risk of schizophrenia.

Abstract
Detection of swine influenza virus (SIV) in commercial swine herds is important for understanding the infection status of the herd and for controlling disease. Current molecular diagnostics require that specimens be submitted to a laboratory which provides results to the growers after some time which is generally too late to intercede in disease control. Moreover, current diagnostic assays are time-consuming, typically costly, and require skilled technical expertise. We have instituted a reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) diagnostic assay based on conserved regions of the SIV matrix (M) gene and H1N1 hemagglutinin (HA) sequences. The RT-LAMP assay was optimized to use both colorimetric and fluorescent endpoints and was validated. The M and HA RT-LAMP assays have a limit-of-detection (LOD) sensitive to 11 and 8-log-fold dilutions of viral RNA, respectively, and are capable of discriminating between H1 and H3 strains of SIV. Additionally, the RT-LAMP assay was optimized for direct amplification of SIV from field samples without the need for viral RNA isolation. The direct RT-LAMP detected >86 % of qRT-PCR validated SIV samples, and >66 % of negative samples when spiked with viral RNA or SIV. The diagnostic RT-LAMP assay is a rapid, sensitive, specific, and cost-effective method for the detection of SIV in herds substantially aiding diagnosis and surveillance.

Abstract
The rapid growth of in vitro nucleic acid replication has offered a powerful tool for clinical diagnosis, food safety detection and environmental monitorning. Successful implementation of various isothermal nucleic acid amplification methods enables rapid replication of target sequences without the participant of a thermal cycler. Point-of-need analysis possesses great superiorities in user-friendly, instant results analysis, low manufacturing, and consumable costs. To meet the great challenge of point-of-need analysis, developing simple and rapid visual methods becomes crucial. Submicro- and nanomaterials possess unique surface properties, which enables their rapid response to DNA amplicons. Their unique optical, magnetic, catalytic, and other physical/chemical properties have been frequently employed for the visual detection of in vitro nucleic acid replications. Herein, we aim to review the submicro- and nanomaterials-based visual methods for detection of nucleic acid amplification. The visual methods are classified according to the designing strategies (e.g. LSPR, bridging flocculation, luminescence, catalytic reaction, separation, etc.). The basic principles, merits and drawbacks of each strategy are described. The application in analysis of nucleic acid targets and non-nucleic acid targets are discussed. The main challenges and future research directions are also highlighted in this rapidly emerging field.

Abstract
Influenza, which is an acute respiratory disease caused by the influenza virus, represents a worldwide public health and economic problem owing to the significant morbidity and mortality caused by its seasonal epidemics and pandemics. Sensitive and convenient methodologies for the detection of influenza viruses are important for clinical care and infection control as well as epidemiological investigations. Here, we developed a multiplex reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) with quencher/fluorescence oligonucleotides connected by a 5' backward loop (LF or LB) primer for the detection of two subtypes of influenza viruses: Influenza A (A/H1 and A/H3) and influenza B. The detection limits of the multiplex RT-LAMP assay were 103 copies and 102 copies of RNA for influenza A and influenza B, respectively. The sensitivities of the multiplex influenza A/B/IC RT-LAMP assay were 94.62% and 97.50% for influenza A and influenza B clinical samples, respectively. The specificities of the multiplex influenza A/B/IC RT-LAMP assay were 100% for influenza A, influenza B, and healthy clinical samples. In addition, the multiplex influenza A/B/IC RT-LAMP assay had no cross-reactivity with other respiratory viruses.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) caused the COVID-19 pandemic that has been spreading around the world since December 2019. More than 10 million affected cases and more than half a million deaths have been reported so far, while no vaccine is yet available as a treatment. Considering the global healthcare urgency, several techniques, including whole genome sequencing and computed tomography imaging have been employed for diagnosing infected people. Considerable efforts are also directed at detecting and preventing different modes of community transmission. Among them is the rapid detection of virus presence on different surfaces with which people may come in contact. Detection based on non-contact optical techniques is very helpful in managing the spread of the virus, and to aid in the disinfection of surfaces. Nanomaterial-based methods are proven suitable for rapid detection. Given the immense need for science led innovative solutions, this manuscript critically reviews recent literature to specifically illustrate nano-engineered effective and rapid solutions. In addition, all the different techniques are critically analyzed, compared, and contrasted to identify the most promising methods. Moreover, promising research ideas for high accuracy of detection in trace concentrations, via color change and light-sensitive nanostructures, to assist fingerprint techniques (to identify the virus at the contact surface of the gas and solid phase) are also presented.

Rapid and simple colorimetric detection of multiple influenza viruses infecting humans using a reverse transcriptional loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) diagnostic platform.

[PMID: 31370782 PMCID: PMC6669974 DOI: 10.1186/s12879-019-4277-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 78] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2018] [Accepted: 07/11/2019] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Background In addition to seasonal influenza viruses recently circulating in humans, avian influenza viruses (AIVs) of H5N1, H5N6 and H7N9 subtypes have also emerged and demonstrated human infection abilities with high mortality rates. Although influenza viral infections are usually diagnosed using viral isolation and serological/molecular analyses, the cost, accessibility, and availability of these methods may limit their utility in various settings. The objective of this study was to develop and optimized a multiplex detection system for most influenza viruses currently infecting humans. Methods We developed and optimized a multiplex detection system for most influenza viruses currently infecting humans including two type B (both Victoria lineages and Yamagata lineages), H1N1, H3N2, H5N1, H5N6, and H7N9 using Reverse Transcriptional Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification (RT-LAMP) technology coupled with a one-pot colorimetric visualization system to facilitate direct determination of results without additional steps. We also evaluated this multiplex RT-LAMP for clinical use using a total of 135 clinical and spiked samples (91 influenza viruses and 44 other human infectious viruses). Results We achieved rapid detection of seasonal influenza viruses (H1N1, H3N2, and Type B) and avian influenza viruses (H5N1, H5N6, H5N8 and H7N9) within an hour. The assay could detect influenza viruses with high sensitivity (i.e., from 100 to 0.1 viral genome copies), comparable to conventional RT-PCR-based approaches which would typically take several hours and require expensive equipment. This assay was capable of specifically detecting each influenza virus (Type B, H1N1, H3N2, H5N1, H5N6, H5N8 and H7N9) without cross-reactivity with other subtypes of AIVs or other human infectious viruses. Furthermore, 91 clinical and spiked samples confirmed by qRT-PCR were also detected by this multiplex RT-LAMP with 98.9% agreement. It was more sensitive than one-step RT-PCR approach (92.3%). Conclusions Results of this study suggest that our multiplex RT-LAMP assay may provide a rapid, sensitive, cost-effective, and reliable diagnostic method for identifying recent influenza viruses infecting humans, especially in locations without access to large platforms or sophisticated equipment.

Abstract
In this study, we develop a method to detect multiple DNAs of foodborne pathogens by encapsulating emulsion droplets for loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). In contrast to the traditional bulk-phase LAMP, which involves a labor-intensive mixing process, with our method, different primers are automatically mixed with DNA samples and LAMP buffers after picoinjection. By directly observing and analyzing the fluorescence intensity of the resultant droplets, one can detect DNA from different pathogens, with a detection limit 500 times lower than that obtained by bulk-phase LAMP. We further demonstrate the ability to quantify bacteria concentration by detecting bacterial DNA in practical samples, showing great potential in monitoring water resources and their contamination by pathogenic bacteria.

Abstract
A variety of real-time detection techniques for loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) based on the change in fluorescence intensity during DNA amplification enable simultaneous detection of multiple targets. However, these techniques depend on fluorogenic probes containing target-specific sequences. That complicates the adaption to different targets leading to time-consuming assay optimization. Here, we present the first universal real-time detection technique for multiplex LAMP. The novel approach allows simple assay design and is easy to implement for various targets. The innovation features a mediator displacement probe and a universal reporter. During amplification of target DNA the mediator is displaced from the mediator displacement probe. Then it hybridizes to the reporter generating a fluorescence signal. The novel mediator displacement (MD) detection was validated against state-of-the-art molecular beacon (MB) detection by means of a HIV-1 RT-LAMP: MD surpassed MB detection by accelerated probe design (MD: 10 min, MB: 3-4 h), shorter times to positive (MD 4.1 ± 0.1 min shorter than MB, n = 36), improved signal-to-noise fluorescence ratio (MD: 5.9 ± 0.4, MB: 2.7 ± 0.4; n = 15), and showed equally good or better analytical performance parameters. The usability of one universal mediator-reporter set in different multiplex assays was successfully demonstrated for a biplex RT-LAMP of HIV-1 and HTLV-1 and a biplex LAMP of Haemophilus ducreyi and Treponema pallidum, both showing good correlation between target concentration and time to positive. Due to its simple implementation it is suggested to extend the use of the universal mediator-reporter sets to the detection of various other diagnostic panels.

Abstract
Multiplexed isothermal amplification and detection of nucleic acid sequences and biomarkers is of increasing importance in diverse areas including advanced diagnostics, food quality control and environmental monitoring. Whilst there are several very elegant isothermal amplification approaches, multiplexed amplification remains a challenge, requiring careful experimental design and optimisation, from judicious primer design in order to avoid the formation of primer dimers and non-specific amplification, applied temperature as well as the ratio and concentration of primers. In this review, we describe the various approaches that have been reported to date for multiplexed isothermal amplification, for both "one-pot" multiplexing as well as parallelised multiplexing using loop-mediated isothermal amplification, strand-displacement amplification, helicase-dependent amplification, rolling circle amplification, nucleic acid sequence-based amplification, with a particular focus on recombinase polymerase amplification.
