Research abstract
Objective of this project is to develop a diagnostic assay for rapid detection of avian metapneumovirus (aMPV) in less than 30 minutes using a novel multiplex molecular diagnostic assay.This diagnostic assay will be based on a multiplex loop-mediated isothermal amplification (mLAMP) method, which allows real-time detection of multiple targets in a single reaction. This diagnostic test will be designed to differentiate between common subtypes of aMPV (A, B, and C) in a single reaction. This assay will be performed on a isothermal instrument, and the results will be displayed on the screen as positive, negative, or non-conclusive.Assay performance will be compared with that of the reference method (real time RT-qPCR). A simple and rapid sample preparation method will also be developed. The analytical performance of the aMPV mLAMP assay will be evaluated by testing a cohort ofpositive (aMPV A/B/C) andnegative samples.
