Importance:
This study combines quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and microfluidics to introduce MONITOR, a portable field detection system for multiple pathogens causing influenza-like illness. MONITOR can be rapidly deployed to enable simultaneous sample-in-result-out detection of eight common influenza-like illness (ILI) pathogens with heightened sensitivity and specificity. It is particularly well suited for communities and regions without centralized laboratories, offering robust technical support for the prompt and accurate monitoring and detection of ILI. It holds the potential to be a potent tool in the early detection and prevention of infectious diseases.
