中国研究人员开发猴痘病毒快速检测方法

北京 — 一些中国研究人员最近开发了三种猴痘病毒快速检测方法 (MPXV) 可以提供结果 20 到 30 分钟，显着快于传统定量实时 PCR (聚合酶链反应) 方法.

定量实时 PCR 目前是猴痘病毒诊断的金标准, 但它需要训练有素的实验室人员和专门设备, and results can only be obtained after several hours.

The researchers from the Institut Pasteur of Shanghai under the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed three recombinase-based isothermal amplification assays for the rapid detection of MPXV and found that the test results were consistent with traditional real-time PCR.

The new testing methods were reactive only against MPXV and non-cross reactive against other pox viruses, such as the vaccinia virus, and the results can be visualized in 20 到 30 分钟, according to the study findings published in the journal Viruses.

These findings provide a new choice for the early diagnosis of potential MPXV cases, and will help the control and prevention of current and potential future outbreaks, according to the study.
