CRISPR/Cas13a-based genome editing for establishing the detection method of H9N2 subtype avian influenza virus. Poult Sci 2024; 103:104068. [PMID: 39096825 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2024.104068] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2024] [Revised: 06/13/2024] [Accepted: 07/02/2024] [Indexed: 08/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Avian influenza virus (AIV) subtype H9N2 has significantly threatened the poultry business in recent years by having become the predominant subtype in flocks of chickens, ducks, and pigeons. In addition, the public health aspects of H9N2 AIV pose a significant threat to humans. Early and rapid diagnosis of H9N2 AIV is therefore of great importance. In this study, a new method for the detection of H9N2 AIV based on fluorescence intensity was successfully established using CRISPR/Cas13a technology. The Cas13a protein was first expressed in a prokaryotic system and purified using nickel ion affinity chromatography, resulting in a high-purity Cas13a protein. The best RPA (recombinase polymerase amplification) primer pairs and crRNA were designed and screened, successfully constructing the detection of H9N2 AIV based on CRISPR/Cas13a technology. Optimal concentration of Cas13a and crRNA was determined to optimize the constructed assay. The sensitivity of the optimized detection system is excellent, with a minimum detection limit of 10° copies/μL and didn't react with other avian susceptible viruses, with excellent specificity. The detection method provides the basis for the field detection of the H9N2 AIV.

Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23147957. [PMID: 35887315 PMCID: PMC9320457 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23147957] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2022] [Revised: 07/13/2022] [Accepted: 07/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Globally, point-of-care testing (POCT) is the most preferable on-site technique for disease detection and includes a rapid diagnostic test (RDT) and fluorescent immunochromatographic strip test (FICT). The testing kits are generally insufficient in terms of signal enhancement, which is a major drawback of this approach. Sensitive and timely on-site POCT methods with high signal enhancement are therefore essential for the accurate diagnosis of infectious diseases. Herein, we prepare cysteamine-gold coated carboxylated europium chelated nanoparticle (Cys Au-EuNPs)-mediated POCT for the detection of the H5N1 avian influenza virus (AIV). Commercial nanoparticles were used for comparison. The spectral characteristics, surface morphologies, functional groups, surface charge and stability of the Cys AuNPs, EuNPs, and Cys Au-EuNPs were confirmed by UV-visible spectrophotometry, fluorescence spectrometry, transmission electron microscope with Selected area electron diffraction (TEM-SAED), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and zeta potential analysis. The particle size distribution revealed an average size of ~130 ± 0.66 nm for the Cys Au-EuNPs. The Cys Au-EuNP-mediated RDT (colorimetric analysis) and FICT kit revealed a limit of detection (LOD) of 10 HAU/mL and 2.5 HAU/mL, respectively, for H5N1 under different titer conditions. The obtained LOD is eight-fold that of commercial nanoparticle conjugates. The photo luminance (PL) stability of ~3% the Cys Au-EuNPs conjugates that was obtained under UV light irradiation differs considerably from that of the commercial nanoparticle conjugates. Overall, the developed Cys Au-EuNPs-mediated dual-mode POCT kit can be used as an effective nanocomposite for the development of on-site monitoring systems for infectious disease surveillance.

Research Progress in the Early Warning of Chicken Diseases by Monitoring Clinical Symptoms. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2022.

Abstract
Global animal protein consumption has been steadily increasing as a result of population growth and the increasing demand for nutritious diets. The poultry industry provides a large portion of meat and eggs for human consumption. The early detection and warning of poultry infectious diseases play a critical role in the poultry breeding and production systems, improving animal welfare and reducing losses. However, inadequate methods for the early detection and prevention of infectious diseases in poultry farms sometimes fail to prevent decreased productivity and even widespread mortality. The health status of poultry is often reflected by its individual physiological, physical and behavioral clinical symptoms, such as higher body temperature resulting from fever, abnormal vocalization caused by respiratory disease and abnormal behaviors due to pathogenic infection. Therefore, the use of technologies for symptom detection can monitor the health status of broilers and laying hens in a continuous, noninvasive and automated way, and potentially assist in the early warning decision-making process. This review summarized recent literature on poultry disease detection and highlighted clinical symptom-monitoring technologies for sick poultry. The review concluded that current technologies are already showing their superiority to manual inspection, but the clinical symptom-based monitoring systems have not been fully utilized for on-farm early detection.

Abstract
Swine influenza is an economically important respiratory disease in swine, but it also constantly poses a threat to human health. Therefore, developing rapid, sensitive, and efficient detection methods for swine influenza virus (SIV) is important. By aligning the haemagglutinin (HA) gene sequences of SIVs circulating in China over a 10-year period, an H1 primer-probe set targeting both Eurasian avian-like H1N1 (EA H1N1) and pandemic 2009 H1N1 ((H1N1)pdm09) lineages plus a H3 primer-probe set targeting the prevalent human-like H3N2 (HL H3N2) subtype were designed. Subsequently, a TaqMan-MGB-based duplex one-step real-time RT-PCR (RT-qPCR) assay was established and evaluated. The duplex RT-qPCR has a detection limit of 5 copies/μL of HA plasmid for EA H1N1, (H1N1)pdm09, and HL H3N2 subtype SIVs, and its overall detection sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 91.67% matches that of traditional virus isolation through chicken embryo inoculation using experimentally infected mouse lung samples. The method showed high repeatability both within run and between runs, and there was no cross-reactivity against several other porcine viruses that are commonly circulating in China. Furthermore, the duplex RT-qPCR method revealed a higher prevalence of subtype H1 than subtype H3 in 166 nasal swabs from pigs collected from one slaughterhouse between October and December 2019. This assay could be very helpful in the rapid differential detection and routine surveillance of EA H1N1, (H1N1)pdm09, and HL H3N2 SIVs in China.

Abstract
Newcastle disease is an acute and highly contagious disease of poultry caused by Newcastle disease virus infection, which does great harm to the poultry industry all over the world. To diagnose the disease simply and quickly, 2 detection methods were established based on reverse transcription recombinase-aided amplification (RT-RAA) technology. One is reverse transcription recombinase-aided amplification-lateral flow dipstick (RT-RAA-LFD) that is to combine RT-RAA with lateral flow dipstick; the other is real-time fluorescence-based reverse transcription recombinase-aided amplification (RF-RT-RAA) that is the combination of RT-RAA and exo probe. In this study, the reaction conditions such as reaction temperature and reaction time of the 2 methods were optimized, and their specificity and sensitivity were tested. The results showed that the RT-RAA-LFD method could be used to complete reaction within 23 min, and its lowest detectable limit was 102 copies/μL, 10 times higher than that of the conventional PCR method (103 copies/μL); the RF-RT-RAA method could be used to complete reaction within 26 min, and its lowest detectable limit was 10 copies/μL, 100 times higher than that of conventional PCR method (103 copies/μL), and it was as sensitive as real-time fluorescence-based quantitative PCR (10 copies/μL). The 2 methods had no cross reaction to the nucleic acid of other avian pathogens and showed good specificity. A total of 86 clinical samples suspected of the Newcastle disease virus were tested by conventional PCR, real-time fluorescence-based quantitative PCR, RT-RAA-LFD, and RF-RT-RAA. Based on the commonly used conventional PCR method, the other 3 detection methods had a coincidence rate of higher than 93%. In summary, RT-RAA-LFD and RF-RT-RAA had high specificity, sensitivity, and efficiency, which were suitable for clinical and laboratory diagnosis, respectively, and provided technical support for the prevention and control of Newcastle disease.

Abstract
Since the initial detection of H5N1, a highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus, in 1996 in China, numerous HPAI H5 lineages have been classified, and they continue to pose a threat to animal and human health. In this study, we developed a novel primer/probe set that can be employed to simultaneously detect pan-H5 HPAI and two clades, 2.3.2.1 and 2.3.4.4, of H5Nx viruses using reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The sensitivity and specificity of these primer sets and probes were confirmed with a number of different subtypes of influenza virus and the H5-HA gene plasmid DNA. In particular, the multiplex RT-qPCR assay was successfully applied to the simultaneous detection of H5 HPAI and different virus clades in clinical field samples from a poultry farm. Therefore, this multiplex assay and a novel detection primer set and probes will be useful for the laboratory diagnosis and epidemiological field studies of different circulating H5 HPAI virus clades in poultry and migratory wild birds.
