Detection of respiratory syncytial virus based on RT-RPA and CRISPR-Cas12a

Human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV) is one of the most prevalent viruses infecting children globally. In this study, we employed the RT-RPA with CRISPR/Cas12a detection methodology to detect and differentiate RSV-A and RSV-B, particularly in resource-limited settings. The detection limit for RS...

Description
Summary:Human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV) is one of the most prevalent viruses infecting children globally. In this study, we employed the RT-RPA with CRISPR/Cas12a detection methodology to detect and differentiate RSV-A and RSV-B, particularly in resource-limited settings. The detection limit for RSV-A and RSV-B was approximately 102 and 103 copies/reaction, respectively. The assay revealed 100% specificity in detecting both RSV-A and RSV-B. Diagnostic accuracy was 90.32 and 93.55% for RSV-A and RSV-B, respectively, compared to RT-qPCR. These data indicate a proficient strategy for RSV screening, demonstrating promise for prospective applications in detecting diverse viral infections.
