Article Abstract
Infectious diseases have always been a seriously endanger for human life and health. A rapid, accurate and ultra-sensitive virus nucleic acid detection is still a challenge to deal with infectious diseases. Here, a RNA extraction-free reduced graphene oxide-based reverse transcription-loop-mediated isothermal amplification (EF-G-RT-LAMP) fluorescence assay was developed to achieve high-throughput, rapid and ultra-sensitive SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection. The whole detection process only took ∼36 min. The EF-G-RT-LAMP assay achieves a detection limit of 0.6 copies μL with a wide dynamic range of aM-pM. A large number (up to 384) of samples can be detected simultaneously. Simulated detection of the COVID-19 pseudovirus and clinical samples in nasopharyngeal swabs demonstrated a high-throughput, rapid and ultra-sensitive practical detection capability of the EF-G-RT-LAMP assay. The results proved that the assay would be used as a rapid, easy-to-implement approach for epidemiologic diagnosis and could be extended to other nucleic acid detections.

Messenger RNA (mRNA) from high-risk genotypes of human papillomavirus (hrHPV) is a more specific biomarker for cervical cancer risk than hrHPV DNA due to its ability to differentiate clinically significant infections from transient ones. Detecting mRNA from exfoliated cervical cells, however, is a complex, expensive, and equipment-intensive process, making it infeasible in resource-limited settings. Here we describe a sensitive, specific, and minimally instrumented method to detect HPV16, HPV18, and HPV45 mRNA in exfoliated cervical cells.

CRISPR-Cas-based methods have shown high efficacy in detecting SARS-CoV-2. Amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, numerous studies have explored SARS-CoV-2 detection methods without the need for RNA extraction, aiming to reduce cost and processing time. Here, we assessed a CRISPR-based SARS-CoV-2 detection method's ability to detect the virus in viral transport medium (VTM).

Introduction: The aim of this study is to develop a one-step real-time PCR assay for SARS-CoV-2 detection. The study was designed to circumvent the routine RNA isolation step and to optimize a lysis buffer and parameters for direct quantitative PCR.
Methodology: A lysis solution was prepared using Tween-20, Triton X-100, EDTA, and Tris buffer (pH 7.

Continually emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants pose challenges to clinical and public health interventions, necessitating sustainable approaches to real-time variant monitoring. This case study describes an innovative SARS-CoV-2 screening and surveillance program that demonstrates the utility of sequencing-based variant monitoring using self-collected saliva specimens. We conducted saliva-based SARS-CoV-2 screening in occupational settings in Omaha, Nebraska from December 2021 through November 2022.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), an emerging life-threatening viral disease, has rapidly spread worldwide, exerting a detrimental impact on public health. We aimed to devise an innovative platform based on the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method, having priorities over real-time PCR (RT-PCR) in terms of sensitivity, specificity, and low running costs. To develop a novel assay, a new primer set plus four primer sets were designed targeting the N gene of the COVID-19 agent, resulting in the sensitivity reinforcement.
