The 2025 World Hepatitis Day theme "Let’s Break It Down" emphasizes the need to simplify, scale up, and integrate hepatitis services - vaccination, safe injection practices, harm reduction and especially testing and treatment - into national health systems. HBV remains highly endemic in resource-limited regions like Southeast Asia and Africa, making simple, rapid, and portable field detection methods critical for effective control. This study presents two RAA-based field detection methods capable of completing the entire testing process within 40 minutes.

African Swine Fever (ASF), caused by the African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV), is a devastating infectious disease affecting domestic and wild pigs. It has significant negative socioeconomic impacts on the global pig industry and food security. The World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) classifies it as a notifiable disease. To date, there is no effective vaccine or treatment for ASF. Early detection and rapid diagnosis are of critical importance for controlling the spread of ASF.

CDC and public health officials in several states are investigating a multistate outbreak of Listeria infections linked to ready-to-eat foods made by Fresh & Ready Foods LLC. Foods include items like sandwiches and protein snacks. (Source: CDC). Listeria monocytogenes is a highly lethal foodborne pathogen that contaminates dairy products, meats, and other foods, causing sepsis, meningitis, and a mortality rate of 27%–44%.

This year, the theme of World Food Safety Day is science in action. As innovation determines the future, science and technology are crucial in ensuring food safety. Rapid detection of foodborne pathogens has always been a key link in food safety prevention and control. As the most common pathogen causing food poisoning worldwide, the innovation of Salmonella detection technology has significant public health implications. This study introduces a recombinase-aided isothermal nucleic acid amplification method for rapid Salmonella detection that can complete the entire testing process within 20 minutes.

Isothermal Amplification Breakthrough: RAA Platform Accelerates Chikungunya Virus Research
Since 2025, Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) has shown exceptionally active spread in tropical regions. Although traditional RT-PCR offers high sensitivity, its >2-hour amplification cycle and heavy reliance on specialized equipment have created bottlenecks for research teams needing critical data during outbreaks. Field traceability studies are further constrained by cold-chain transport requirements and laboratory dependencies.
