Xing JY, Li AQ, Guo XM, Wang M, Guan X, Qiu L, Zhang QL, Huang J. Optimizing the nested PCR method for Decapod iridescent virus 1 (DIV1) targeting ATPase gene by reselecting the inner primers. J Invertebr Pathol 2024; 207:108212. [PMID: 39343128 DOI: 10.1016/j.jip.2024.108212] [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: 07/04/2024] [Revised: 09/23/2024] [Accepted: 09/26/2024] [Indexed: 10/01/2024]
Abstract
DIV1 has the characteristics of fast transmission and a broad host range. Its infection leads to a high mortality rate, posing a serious threat to the global crustacean aquaculture industry. In order to increase the accuracy of DIV1 detection and reduce the difficulty of result interpretation, this study modified the original nested PCR method targeting the DIV1 ATPase gene. The internal primers for the nested PCR were redesigned to produce a 338 bp amplification product in the second step PCR, effectively distinguishing the target band from primer dimers. The newly established nested PCR method exhibits strong specificity and high sensitivity, with a detection limit as low as 1.37 × 101 copies/reaction. The developed nested PCR assay provides new technical support for the accurate detection of DIV1 in global crustacean aquaculture.

Abstract
As a newly discovered virus, Decapoda iridovirus 1 (DIV1) can cause a mortality rate of up to 100% in crustaceans, leading to huge economic losses. At present, there is no effective prevention and control measures for this disease. In the present study, the specific primers targeting highly conserved regions of MCP gene were designed, and then a quantitative real-time PCR method was established. The results indicate that DIV1 quantitative real-time PCR established has good specificity and does not cross react with other pathogens including white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), infectious subcutaneous and hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV) and Vibrio parahaemolyticus induced acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (VpAHPND). The real-time PCR was capable of detecting DIV1 DNA at a minimum concentration of 10 copies/μL within 34 cycles. The method has good repeatability, with intra group and inter group coefficients of variation both less than 2%. Thirty-two clinical samples were assessed using both the real-time PCR and conventional PCR. The results shown real-time PCR we established are more sensitive than conventional PCR. In conclusion, this method has strong specificity, stable repeatability, and high sensitivity, providing technical support for clinical diagnosis, epidemiology investigation and monitoring of DIV1.

Abstract
MALT1 (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1) serves as a pivotal mediator for NF-κB activation in response to a wide spectrum of transmembrane receptor stimuli. In the present study, a homolog of MALT1, named LvMALT1, is cloned from the Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) and its potential function in shrimp innate immunity is explored. The open reading frame of LvMALT1 is 2364 bp that encodes 787 amino acids. The predicted LvMALT1 protein structure comprises a death domain, three immunoglobulin domains, and a caspase-like domain, exhibiting remarkable similarity to other homologs. LvMALT1 is a cytoplasmic-localized protein and could interact with LvTRAF6. Overexpression of LvMALT1 induces the activation of promoter elements governing the expression of several key antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), including penaeidins (PENs) and crustins (CRUs). Conversely, silencing of LvMALT1 leads to a reduction in the phosphorylation levels of Dorsal and Relish, along with a concomitant decline in the in vivo expression levels of multiple AMPs. Furthermore, LvMALT1 is prominently upregulated in response to a challenge by the white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), facilitating the NF-κB-mediated expression of AMPs as a defense against viral infection. Taken together, we identified a MALT1 homolog from the shrimp L. vannamei, which plays a positive role in the TRAF6/NF-κB/AMPs axis-mediated innate immunity.

Abstract
Decapod iridescent virus 1 (DIV1) is an emerging pathogen that mainly threatens decapod crustaceans, causing high mortalities and leading to huge economic losses. In this study, a pair of specific primers were designed for the major capsid protein (MCP) gene of DIV1, and a SYBR Green I-based real-time PCR method was developed. The method displayed good linearity (R2 = 1.000) and good repeatability in detecting standards of DIV1 MCP fragments ranging from 6.2 × 101 to 6.2 × 108 DNA copies/μl. Specificity analysis revealed that the real-time PCR was specific for DIV1 and did not react with other common shrimp pathogens or healthy shrimp DNA. Sensitivity analysis revealed that the real-time PCR could efficiently detect DIV1 DNA as low as 62 copies/μl within 35 cycles. In summary, the established real-time PCR provides an efficient, sensitive, and reliable detection method for DIV1.

Abstract
Bacterial microrobots are an emerging living material in the field of diagnostics. However, it is an important challenge to make bacterial microrobots with both controlled motility and specific functions. Herein, magnetically driven diagnostic bacterial microrobots are prepared by standardized and modular synthetic biology methods. To ensure mobility, the Mms6 protein is displayed on the surface of bacteria and is exploited for magnetic biomineralization. This gives the bacterial microrobot the ability to cruise flexibly and rapidly with a magnetization intensity up to about 18.65 emu g-1. To achieve the diagnostic function, the Cas12a protein is displayed on the bacterial surface and is used for aquatic pathogen nucleic acid detection. This allows the bacterial microrobot to achieve sensitive, rapid, and accurate on-site nucleic acid detection, with detection limits of 8 copies μL-1 for decapod iridescent virus 1 (DIV1) and 7 copies μL-1 for white spot syndrome virus (WSSV). In particular, the diagnostic results based on the bacterial microrobots remained consistent with the gold standard test results when tested on shrimp tissue. This approach is a flexible and customizable strategy for building bacterial microrobots, providing a reliable and versatile solution for the design of bacterial microrobots.

Abstract
Mink circovirus disease caused by Mink Circovirus (MiCV) is a serious infectious disease of mink that has become prevalent in recent years in China, severely affecting the reproductive performance of mink and causing significant economic losses to farms. To date, there have been few studies on MiCV, its pathogenic mechanism is not clear, and there is no effective vaccine or drug to prevent and control the disease. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a rapid and reliable molecular diagnostic method, which would aid future studies of this novel virus. In our study, we developed a sensitive and specific TaqMan-based quantitative real-time PCR assay targeting the MiCV Cap gene. The assay showed no cross-reaction with other tested animal viruses. The assay is highly sensitive, with a detection limit of as low as 10 plasmid DNA copies and 2.38 × 10-2 pg of viral DNA. The intra and inter--assay coefficients of variation were both low. The positive detection rate of MiCV in clinical samples from minks, foxes, and raccoon dogs were 58.8% (133/226), 50.7% (72/142), and 42.2% (54/128), respectively, giving a total positive detection rate of 52.2% (259/496). Higher contamination levels were observed in samples from the environment in direct or indirect contact with animals, with a total positive detection rate of 75.1% (220/293). These epidemiological results showed that minks, foxes, and raccoon dogs had high infection rates of MiCV. This was also the first study to detect MiCV on the ground and equipment of fur-bearing animal farms. Our assay is highly sensitive and specific for the diagnosis and quantification of MiCV, and should provide a reliable real-time tool for epidemiological and pathogenetic study of MiCV infection.

Abstract
Viral diseases have seriously restricted the healthy development of aquaculture, and decapod iridescent virus 1 (DIV1) has led to heavy losses in the global shrimp aquaculture industry. Due to the lack of effective treatment, early detection and regular monitoring are the most effective ways to avoid infection with DIV1. In this study, a novel real-time quantitative recombinase polymerase amplification (qRPA) assay and its instrument-free visualization improvement were described for the rapid detection of DIV1. Optimum primer pairs, suitable reaction temperatures, and probe concentrations of a DIV1-qRPA assay were screened to determine optimal reaction conditions. Then, its ability to detect DIV1 was evaluated and compared with real-time quantitative polymerase chain reactions (qPCRs). The sensitivity tests demonstrated that the limit of detection (LOD) of the DIV1-qRPA assay was 1.0 copies μL-1. Additionally, the presentation of the detection results was improved with SYBR Green I, and the LOD of the DIV1-RPA-SYBR Green I assay was 1.0 × 103 copies μL-1. Both the DIV1-qRPA and DIV1-RPA-SYBR Green I assays could be performed at 42 °C within 20 min and without cross-reactivity with the following: white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), Vibrio parahaemolyticus associated with acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (VpAHPND), Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP), and infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV). In conclusion, this approach yields rapid, straightforward, and simple DIV1 diagnoses, making it potentially valuable as a reliable tool for the detection and prevention of DIV1, especially where there is a paucity of laboratory equipment.

Hu L, Zhang S, Xue Y, Zhang Y, Zhang W, Wang S. Quantitative Detection of Viable but Nonculturable Cronobacter sakazakii Using Photosensitive Nucleic Acid Dye PMA Combined with Isothermal Amplification LAMP in Raw Milk. Foods 2022; 11:foods11172653. [PMID: 36076838 PMCID: PMC9455467 DOI: 10.3390/foods11172653] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2022] [Revised: 08/27/2022] [Accepted: 08/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
An accurate method that rapidly detects the number of viable but nonculturable (VBNC) Cronobacter sakazakii was developed by combining propidium bromide with quantitative LAMP (PMA-QLAMP). The gyrB gene was the target for primers design. The optimal PMA treatment conditions were determined to eliminate the DNA amplification of 108 CFU/mL of dead C. sakazakii without affecting any viable C. sakazakii DNA amplification. Compared with the DNA of 24 strains of common non-C. sakazakii strains found in raw milk and dairy products, the DNA of only six C. sakazakii strains from different sources was amplified using PMA-QLAMP. The ability of PMA-QLAMP to quantitatively detect non-dead C. sakazakii in a 10% powdered infant formula (PIF) solution was limited to 4.3 × 102 CFU/mL and above concentrations. Pasteurizing 106 CFU/mL viable C. sakazakii yielded the maximum ratio of the VBNC C. sakazakii. PMA-QLAMP-based detection indicated that, although approximately 13% of 60 samples were positive for viable C. sakazakii, the C. sakazakii titers in these positive samples were low, and none entered the VBNC state under pasteurization. PMA-QLAMP showed potential as a specific and reliable method for detecting VBNC-C. sakazakii in pasteurized raw milk, thereby providing an early warning system that indicates potential contamination of PIF.

Abstract
UNLABELLED White spot disease (WSD) has posed a serious threat to the China and the global shrimp aquaculture. In order to diagnose white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) early and prevent the spread and outbreak of WSD, it is necessary to establish a highly sensitive WSSV diagnosis method suitable for shrimp farming sites. In this study, a pre-amplification qPCR assay from the crude extract of samples heated lysis was established, which was further compared with the universal qPCR assay to verify the shrimp samples. The limit of detection (LOD) of pre-amplification qPCR assay and universal qPCR assay was 2.80 copies and 20.57 copies per reaction at 95% CI, respectively. It had good WSSV specificity and did not show cross-detection of infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV), hepatopancreatic parvovirus (HPV), Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP), acute hepatopancreas necrosis disease (AHPND), necrotizing hepatopancreatitis bacteria (NHPB), and decapod iridescent virus 1 (DIV1). A total of 36 shrimp samples were detected as WSSV DNA positive by pre-amplification qPCR with crude extract from samples heated lysis and universal qPCR with DNA extraction. The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity were 97.22% (85.5 ~ 99.9%, 95% CI) and 100% (81.5 ~ 100%, 95% CI), respectively. The agreement Kappa value was 0.959 (0.879 ~ 1, 95% CI), and the analysis results were basically consistent. Eliminating the tedious steps of extracting DNA and using pre-amplified qPCR to detect WSSV in shrimp, it is a good choice for aquaculture farms.

Development and Comparison of Seminested PCR, qPCR, and LAMP for the Rapid Detection of Arthrinium phaeospermum, the Causal Agent of Bamboo Blight. FORESTS 2022.

Abstract
Bambusa pervariabilis × Dendrocalamopsis grandis blight is a newly discovered disease in bamboos that has caused substantial economic loss to the affected areas. With the purpose of carrying out rapid detection of Bambusa pervariabilis × Dendrocalamopsis grandis blight caused by Arthrinium phaeospermum during the incubation period, three sets of detection assays were established: seminested PCR, real-time quantitative PCR, and LAMP. The specificity, sensitivity, and effectiveness of these assays were also detected. The results showed that the three assays were able to specifically amplify the target bands from five strains of Arthriniumphaeospermum from different sources, but none of the other 18 strains were able to obtain the specific bands. The sensitivity of the established seminested PCR, LAMP, and real-time quantitative PCR assays were 100, 10, and 1 pg/μL, respectively. The presence of A. phaeospermum could be detected in the early stage of disease using the total DNA of infected hybrid bamboo tissue as a template. The three systems established in this study are of great significance for the early diagnosis and rapid detection of hybrid bamboo blight.

Detection of viable Lacticaseibacillus paracasei in fermented milk using propidium monoazide combined with quantitative loop-mediated isothermal amplification. FEMS Microbiol Lett 2021; 368:6442182. [PMID: 34849766 DOI: 10.1093/femsle/fnab148] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2021] [Accepted: 11/23/2021] [Indexed: 01/23/2023] Open
Abstract
To quantify viable probiotic Lacticaseibacillus paracasei (L. paracasei) in fermented milk accurately and quickly, propidium monoazide combined with quantitative loop-mediated isothermal amplification (PMA-qLAMP) was applied. The optimal PMA treatment conditions for treating a L. paracasei suspension were determined using an orthogonal test to eliminate the DNA amplification of 108 CFU/mL of dead L. paracasei. Primers were designed based on the species-specific gyrB gene of L. paracasei. A phylogenetic tree based on the gyrB gene showed that L. paracasei clustered on the same branch with 91% support. Compared with the 16 strains commonly found in fermented milk, three strains of L. paracasei showed positive PMA-qLAMP results, and the melting temperature was approximately 82.4°C. There was a linear relationship (R2 = 0.9983) between the Ct values and the logarithm of the concentration of viable bacteria. The PMA-qLAMP detection limit for the L. paracasei artificially added to fermented milk was 7.3 × 102 CFU/mL. There was no significant difference between the logarithm values of the concentration of viable L. paracasei of 50 fermented milk samples within shelf life using the PMA-qLAMP and plate count methods (P > 0.01). PMA-qLAMP is specific and accurate for obtaining reliable results faster than when using plate counts.
