TLDR
The Cas13-based SHERLOCK platform can detect Zika virus and dengue virus in patient samples at concentrations as low as 1 copy per microliter and can distinguish the four DENV serotypes, as well as region-specific strains of ZIKV from the 2015–2016 pandemic.
Abstract
Mitigating global infectious disease requires diagnostic tools that are sensitive, specific, and rapidly field deployable. In this study, we demonstrate that the Cas13-based SHERLOCK (specific high-sensitivity enzymatic reporter unlocking) platform can detect Zika virus (ZIKV) and dengue virus (DENV) in patient samples at concentrations as low as 1 copy per microliter. We developed HUDSON (heating unextracted diagnostic samples to obliterate nucleases), a protocol that pairs with SHERLOCK for viral detection directly from bodily fluids, enabling instrument-free DENV detection directly from patient samples in

Multiplexed and portable nucleic acid detection platform with Cas13, Cas12a, and Csm6

TL;DR: ShERLOCK as discussed by the authors is a platform that combines isothermal preamplification with Cas13 to detect single molecules of RNA or DNA, which can detect Dengue or Zika virus single-stranded RNA and mutations in patient liquid biopsy samples via lateral flow.
