Recent Advances in Lateral Flow Immunoassay for Rapid Diagnosis of Viral Diseases
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Viral diseases are a major threat to human and animal health, as illustrated by recent pandemics like COVID‐19 and African swine fever (ASF). Timely, accurate detection of viral infections is critical for effective disease control. Among diverse diagnostic techniques, lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) has become a widely used on‐site testing tool, owing ...
