Rapid Molecular Detection of Zika Virus in Acute-Phase Urine Samples Using the Recombinase Polymerase Amplification Assay
1 Jan 2017
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Currently the detection of Zika virus (ZIKV) in patient samples is done by real-time RT-PCR. Samples collected from rural area are sent to highly equipped laboratories for screening. A rapid point-of-care test is needed to detect the virus, especially at low resource settings. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: In this report, we describe the development of a reverse transcription isothermal recombinase...
