Visual detection of H3 subtype avian influenza viruses by reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay

Abstract

The newly developed H3-RT-LAMP assay is simple, sensitive, rapid and can identify H3 subtype AIVs visually. Consequently, it will be a very useful screening assay for the surveillance of H3 subtype AIVs in underequipped laboratories as well as in field conditions.
