So brucellosis is one of the top five neglected zoonotic diseases in the […]

Recombinase Polymerase Amplification for Rapid Detection of Zoonotic Pathogens: An Overview

Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. With the advent of molecular technology, several isothermal techniques for rapid detection of zoonotic pathogens have been developed. Among them, recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) is becoming an important technology for rapid, sensitive, and economical detection of zoonotic pathogens. RPA technology has the advantage of being able to […]
