Three human adenovirus (HAdV) genotypes, HAdV-7, HAdV-14, and HAdV-55, emerged as the most prevalent variants in China over the past decade and caused both sporadic, fatal cases and frequent, large outbreaks. Early diagnosis is essential to control infections and endemics. Here, we established a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay coupled with an instrument-free nucleic acid extraction device recently developed by our group; the assay could detect all the 3 prevalent HAdV genotypes. Specificity analysis showed no cross-reactivity with other common respiratory pathogens and the analytical sensitivity was as low as 10 copies/µL. All detection steps could be completed within 1 hour. The assay's performance was evaluated using clinical samples and compared with the gold standard RT-PCR method, showing highly consistent results. The LAMP assay developed here could be readily used in basic laboratory facilities and with minimal DNA extraction equipment, and as a reliable screening test in a resource-limited setting.
