Isothermal amplification of nucleic acids has emerged as a promising alternative in which rapid and efficient amplification is achieved at a constant temperature without the thermal cycling required in PCR.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:title>\n A one-step single-tube accelerated quantitative reverse trascription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay was developed by targeting the NP gene of 2014 Zaire Ebola virus (ZEBOV). The RT-LAMP assay was found to be specific for ZEBOV, without having any cross-reactivity with related haemorrhagic fever viral agents.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n The comparative evaluation of Ebola virus NP gene-specific RT-LAMP assay with reverse transcription (RT) - PCR and TaqMan real-time RT-PCR demonstrated that RT-LAMP was 10-1000 folds more sensitive than TaqMan real-time RT-PCR and conventional RT-PCR, respectively, with a detection limit of 1 copy number. In the absence of real-world clinical samples, the feasibility of Ebola virus RT-LAMP assay for clinical diagnosis was evaluated with different body fluids including serum, urine, saliva, semen and stool samples from healthy human volunteers spiked with gamma-irradiated ZEBOV 2014 obtained from Robert Koch Institute, Berlin, Germany, through the European Network for Diagnostics of Imported Viral Diseases. The Ebola virus RT-LAMP assay could correctly be picked up the spiked samples up to 1 copy of viral RNA without having any matrix interference. The monitoring of gene amplification can also be visualized with the naked eye by using SYBR Green I fluorescent dye.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Interpretation & conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n Thus, due to easy operation without a requirement of sophisticated equipment and skilled personnel, the RT-LAMP assay reported here is a valuable tool as a point-of-care diagnosis for the rapid and real-time detection of Ebola virus in resource-limited healthcare settings of developing countries.<\/jats:p>\n
