Deployable CRISPR-Cas13a diagnostic tools to detect and report Ebola and Lassa virus cases in real-time

2020-05-27

Abstract excerpt

Viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) remain some of the most devastating human diseases, and recent outbreaks of Ebola virus disease (EVD) 1,2 and Lassa fever (LF) 3,4 highlight the urgent need for sensitive, field-deployable tests to diagnose them 5,6 . Here we develop CRISPR-Cas13a-based (SHERLOCK) diagnostics targeting Ebola virus (EBOV) and Lassa virus (LASV), with both fluorescent and lateral flow readouts. We...
