Data from: Detection and differentiation of low virulence and virulent Orthoavulavirus javaense using a molecular beacon with RT-LAMP

This dataset accompanies the manuscript Detection and differentiation of low virulence and virulent Orthoavulavirus javaense using a molecular beacon with RT-LAMP | Scientific Reports (nature.com) published on 08/05/2024. The Orthoavulavirus javaense also called as Newcastle Disease virus is the causative of Newcastle disease a significant problem for the poultry industry. Virulent strains of this virus can cause extensive mortality and economic loss to the poultry industry. Current diagnostic methods rely on polymerase chain reaction targeting the fusion gene of this virus and this method is not only expensive and time consuming, but is also not field applicable. The dataset reported here and the manuscript published describe an assay that can be applied to field diagnosis of NDV via a colorimetric and fluorometric assay. The MB-RT-LAMP assay enables rapid detection of viruses from field samples without the need for RNA isolation and also enable rapid differentiation of virulent vs low virulence viruses. The data provided here demonstrate the sequence analysis undertaken to develop the MB-RT-LAMP primers and probes, the supporting data show the conditions tested to identify optimal parameters.
