Detection and discrimination of multiple strains of Zika virus by reverse transcription-loop-mediated isothermal amplification

Abstract Background Monitoring both invasion of Zika virus disease into free countries and circulation in endemic countries is essential to avoid a global pandemic. However, the difficulty lies in detecting Zika virus due to the large variety of mutations in its genomic sequence. To develop a rapid...
