Abstract excerpt
The Dengue virus (DENV) like many other RNA viruses exhibits high genome sequence diversity. This poses a challenge to nucleic acid-based diagnostics, rendering them inefficient at detecting the diverse DENV strains circulating in a population. In this study, we address this challenge by developing a Toehold sensor assay that despite significant genomic diversity is able to detect ~99.4% of all strains of DENV....
