Development of a Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Method for Rapid Detection of Porcine Boca-like Virus. Li B, Ma JJ, Xiao SB, Zhang XH, Wen LB, Mao L, Ni YX, Guo RL, Zhou JM, Lv LX, He KW. The porcine boca-like virus (Pbo-likeV) was recently discovered in Swedish pigs with post-weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS). In this study, a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay was developed for rapid, specific and sensitive...
