The recent outbreak of Zika virus (ZIKV) infection in the Americas and its devastating impact on fetal development have prompted WHO to declare the ZIKV pandemic as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. Rapid and reliable diagnostics for ZIKV are vital since ZIKV-infected individuals display no symptoms or nonspecific symptoms similar to other viral infections. Since immunoassays lack adequate sensitivity and selectivity and are unable to identify active state of infection, molecular diagnostics is an effective means to detect ZIKV soon after infection and throughout pregnancy. In this talk, I will present our recent effort towards the development of instrument-free point-of-care molecular detection of ZIKV, including: 1) highly sensitive isothermal amplification assay for ZIKV, 2) multifunctional isothermal reactor chip for ZIKV detection in saliva sample; 3) electricity-free smart cup for isothermal amplification.
