An RT-LAMP-LFA assay targeting the 2026 Bundibugyo virus (BDBV) outbreak strain detects BDBV RNA down to 10^3 copies per reaction with results in 25 min.
- Why it matters: Rapid, accurate diagnostics are needed for emerging outbreaks like the 2026 BDBV event, especially where laboratory infrastructure is limited.
- What they did: Researchers designed RT-LAMP primers from the 2026 outbreak genome sequence, confirmed conserved primer sites in silico, and tested specificity and sensitivity using in vitro-transcribed RNA and other viral/cellular RNA; products were read on a C-PAS lateral flow strip.
- The result: The primers showed analytical specificity for BDBV RNA without nonspecific amplification of other tested viral or cellular RNAs, enabling visual detection of amplified products on C-PAS within the full 25-minute workflow.
