T1 - Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification for Influenza A (H5N1) Virus T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2007 VL - 13 IS - 6 SP - 899 SN - 1080-6059 AB - We describe a 1-step reverse-transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay for detection of highly pathogenic avian influenza A (H5N1) viruses. The assay was tested by using a panel of highly pathogenic H5N1 subtypes isolated over the past 10 years and clinical specimens. The assay produced negative results for all non-H5N1 subtypes.
