Abstract
Avian reovirus (ARV) infection results in multiple disease manifestations in chicken. A rapid detection method will contribute to early diagnosis and control of the virus infection. The recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) technology is a nucleic acid amplification method which is experiencing rapid development. In present study, a real-time reverse transcription (RT)-RPA assay was developed for the detection of ARV. The limit of detection of the real-time RT-RPA was 102 copies/μL of ARV genomic RNA standard in 95% of cases. The RT-RPA assay also exhibited remarkable specificity. When the nucleic acids of CRV and other common avian pathogens were subjected to the RT-RPA test, only ARV tested positive, all the other pathogens tested negative. Furthermore, the practicality of the RT-RPA assay in field was confirmed by testing 86 clinical samples. The clinical samples were also detected by qRT-PCR. The detection result by RT-RPA was 96.5% agreement with that of qRT-PCR. As a result of the simplicity and convenience of the assay with high sensitivity and specificity, the probe-based RT-RPA will be an alternative diagnostic assay for the detection of ARV in resource-limited settings.

Abstract
Spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) is a significant pathogenic agent that can cause large-scale outbreaks of spring viremia of carp (SVC) in many types of fish and bring huge economic losses to the aquaculture industry. A simple and convenient detection method is imperative for SVCV diagnosis. In this study, the real-time reverse transcription recombinase polymerase amplification (RT-RPA) assay was developed and validated. Primers and probe targeting the conserved region of M gene were designed and applied to the real-time RT-RPA assay that performed at 39 °C for 20 min. The specificity analysis showed that no cross-reaction with other pathogenic viruses of fish was found, indicating appropriate specificity of the assay. In vitro transcribed RNA standards were used to estimate the sensitivity of the assay and the detection limit was 102copies/reaction. To further evaluate the assay, 65 clinical samples were tested using both real-time RT-RPA assay and real-time RT-PCR method. The same detection results were observed, suggesting the potential application of real-time RT-RPA assay in clinical sample detection. This is the first report on RPA assay for SVCV detection and this new developed assay would be useful in both laboratory and in the field for diagnosis of SVCV.

Abstract
Swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV) is a novel coronavirus which was associated with severe diarrhea disease in pigs. SADS-CoV was first detected and identified as the causative agent of a devastating swine disease outbreak in southern China in 2017. Routine monitoring and early detection of the source of infection is therefore integral to the prevention and control of SADS-CoV infection. In this study, a SYBR green-based real-time reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) technique was established for rapid detection and monitoring of this emerging virus. Specific primers were designed based on the conserved region within the M gene of the viral genome. The lowest detection limit of the RT-qPCR assay was 10 copies/μL. This assay was specific and had no cross-reaction with other 11 swine viruses. The positive rate of 84 clinical samples for the SYBR green-based RT-qPCR and the conventional RT-PCR was 73.81% (62/84) and 53.57% (45/84), respectively. These results demonstrated that the SYBR green-based RT-qPCR technique was an effectively diagnostic method with higher sensitivity than probe-based RT-qPCR and gel-based RT-PCR for detection and epidemiological investigations of SADS-CoV.

Abstract
Background Murine norovirus (MNV) is recognized as the most prevalent viral pathogen in captive mouse colonies. The rapid detection assay for MNV would be a useful tool for monitoring and preventing MNV infection. A recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) assay was established in this study to provide a solution for rapid and sensitive detection of MNV. Results The detection limit of the RT-RPA assay for the detection of MNV was 1 × 102 copies of RNA molecules per reaction. The assay was specific since there was no cross-reaction with other common murine viruses. In addition, the broad reactivity of the RT-RPA assay was validated using the synthesized template carrying seven point mutations among several MNV strains. The MNV RT-RPA assay could detect as few as 1 × 102 copies of the mutant per reaction, suggesting the assay could be broadly reactive against a large diversity of MNV strains. Forty eight clinical samples including 16 gastric tissue specimens, 16 cecal tissue specimens and 16 fecal specimens were tested for the validation of the new developed RT-RPA assay. The detection results of RT-RPA and RT-qPCR for clinical samples were very similar, except that a gastric tissue sample which was positive by RT-qPCR, with a RNA titer of 27 copies, was negative by RT-RPA. Conclusions A broadly reactive RT-RPA assay was successfully established for MNV detection.

Development of a reverse transcription recombinase polymerase amplification assay for rapid detection of Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus. Mol Cell Probes 2018; 41:27-31. [PMID: 30157451 DOI: 10.1016/j.mcp.2018.08.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2018] [Revised: 08/06/2018] [Accepted: 08/24/2018] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) is one of the most common viral pathogens that circulate widely in captive mouse colonies. A molecular biology detection method would be a useful tool to use in an integrated program to monitor and prevent TMEV infection and transmission. Thus, a reverse transcription recombinase polymerase amplification (RT-RPA) assay was developed to detect TMEV infection. The sensitivity of the RT-RPA assay approached 8 copies per reaction, which is equivalent to the sensitivity of RT-qPCR reactions. This assay did not detect RNA extracts from other murine pathogens included in this study or TMEV negative samples. Brain tissues and contaminated biological materials were used to assess the clinical performance of the RT-RPA. The detection results of RT-RPA and RT-qPCR were very similar, except that a contaminated biological material sample which was positive by RT-qPCR, with a CT value of 38, was negative by RT-RPA. In summary, the developed RT-RPA assay offers a rapid, sensitive and specific alternative method for monitoring of TMEV, especially in resource-limited conditions.
