Optimization of an isothermal recombinase polymerase amplification method for real-time detection of Potato virus Y O and N types in potato
Author: Babujee L, Witherell RA, Mikami K, Aiuchi D, Charkowski AO, Rakotondrafara AM.Potato virus Y (PVY) is a global challenge for potato production and the leading cause of seed crop downgrading and rejection for certification. Accurate and timely diagnosis is key to effective control of PVY. In this study, an recombinase polymerase […]

Development of a lateral flow recombinase polymerase amplification assay for rapid and visual detection of Cryptococcus neoformans/C. gattii in cerebral spinal fluid.
Author: Ma Q, Yao J, Yuan S, Liu H, Wei N, Zhang J, Shan W.For definitive diagnosis of cryptococcal meningitis, Cryptococcus neoformans and/or C. gattii must be identified within cerebral spinal fluid from the patients. In this study, an assay combining recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) with lateral flow (LF) was developed to detect C.neoformans […]

Development of a recombinase polymerase amplification combined with a lateral flow dipstick assay for rapid detection of the Mycoplasma bovis.
Author: Zhao G, Hou P, Huan Y, He C, Wang H, He H.Mycoplasma bovis (M. bovis) is a major etiological agent of bovine mycoplasmosis around the world. Point-of-care testing in the field is lacking owing to the requirement for a simple, robust field applicable test that does not require professional laboratory equipment. […]

Development of a recombinase polymerase based isothermal amplification combined with lateral flow assay (HLB-RPA-LFA) for rapid detection of “Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus”.
Author: Ghosh DK, Kokane SB, Kokane AD, Warghane AJ, Motghare MR, Bhose S, Sharma AK, Reddy MK.Currently, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and real time PCR have been the gold standard techniques used for detection of ‘Ca. L. asiaticus’. These diagnostic methods are expensive, require well equipped laboratories, not user-friendly and not suitable for on-site detection of […]
