Development and Validation of Rapid Colorimetric Reverse Transcription Loop‐Mediated Isothermal Amplification for Detection of Rift Valley Fever Virus

Advances in Virology, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is a high‐priority zoonotic pathogen with the ability to cause massive loss during its outbreak within a very short period of time. Lack of a highly sensitive, instant reading diagnostic method for RVFV, which is more suitable for on‐site testing, is a big gap that needs to be addressed.

A novel strain of lumpy skin disease virus causes clinical disease in cattle in Hong Kong

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 4, Page e336-e343, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) is an emerging poxviral pathogen of cattle that is currently spreading throughout Asia. The disease situation is of high importance for farmers and policy makers in Asia. In October 2020, feral cattle in Hong Kong developed multi‐focal cutaneous nodules consistent with lumpy skin disease (LSD).
