The RT-LAMP assay is a novel method of gene amplification that amplifies nucleic acid with high specificity, sensitivity and rapidity under isothermal conditions with a set of four specially designed primers that recognize six distinct sequences of the target. The development of a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for detection of white spot disease virus (WSDV) DNA was described by Kono et al. Ten-fold serial dilutions (10 −1 to 10 −8 diluted) of RNA extracted from YHV-infected shrimp was used as a template for RT-LAMP according to determined conditions. In order to determine the sensitivity of detection limit, RT-LAMP and nested RT-PCR were carried out using various concentrations (10 −1 to 10 −8 dilution) of RNA extracted from YHV-infected shrimp as template. ./cache/cord-302663-gb2vgs97.txt ./txt/cord-302663-gb2vgs97.txt
