Various Methods and Novel Techniques: Rapid Molecular Detection of Human, Plant, Genetic, and Microbial Infectious Diseases, Pathogenic Bacteria, and Organisms

"In this book, various methods for detection of infectious diseases in  humans and other organisms are described. These include polymerase chain  reaction (PCR) technology, loop-mediated isothermal amplification  (LAMP), and recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA). Each method  presents different strengths and weaknesses and varies by sensitivity,  specificity, and rapidity, among other characteristics. These techniques  can be used for the detection of pathogens like SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV,  SARS-CoV-2, influenza, lymphocystis disease virus, swine acute diarrhea  syndrome coronavirus, swine vesicular disease virus, classical swine  fever virus, infectious bursal disease virus, Marek's disease virus,  human papillomaviruses, infectious bronchitis virus, Newcastle disease  virus, sacbrood virus, beak and feather disease virus, foot-and-mouth  disease virus, bovine herpesvirus-1, and more. Other applications of  these methods include molecular diagnosis of cancer, identification of  genetically modified organisms, and detection of food adulteration".
