Outbreaks of Foot-and-Mouth Disease in Burundi, East Africa, in 2016, Caused by Different Serotypes. Viruses 2022; 14:v14051077. [PMID: 35632817 PMCID: PMC9143720 DOI: 10.3390/v14051077] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2022] [Revised: 05/05/2022] [Accepted: 05/10/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Burundi is a small, densely populated country in the African Great Lakes region. In March 2016, several hundreds of cattle were reported with vesicular lesions, suggesting foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). Epithelial samples, saliva, and blood were collected in six of the affected provinces spread over the country. The overall seroprevalence of FMD virus (FMDV) in the affected herds, as determined by antibodies against FMDV non-structural proteins, was estimated at 87%. Antibodies against FMDV serotypes O (52%), A (44%), C (19%), SAT1 (36%), SAT2 (58%), and SAT3 (23%) were detected across the provinces. FMDV genome was detected in samples from five of the six provinces using rRT-PCR. FMDV was isolated from samples from three provinces: in Cibitoke province, serotypes A and SAT2 were isolated, while in Mwaro and Rutana provinces, only serotype SAT2 was isolated. In Bururi and Cankuzo provinces, the serological profile suggested a recent incursion with serotype SAT2, while in Bubanza province, the serological profile suggested past incursions with serotype O and possibly serotype SAT1. The phylogenetic assessments showed the presence of topotypes A/Africa/G-I and SAT2/IV, similarly to previously characterized virus strains from other countries in the region, suggesting a transboundary origin and necessitating a regional approach for vaccination and control of FMD.

Abstract
Rapid, sensitive, and reliable laboratory detection of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) infection is essential for containing and controlling virus infection in any geographical area. In this report a SYBR green-based 3Dpol-specific one-step real-time RT-PCR (rRT-PCR) assay was developed for the pan-serotype detection of FMDV in India. The detection limit of the SYBR green-based rRT-PCR was 10-2 TCID50/50 µl, which is 10 times more sensitive than the traditional agarose gel electrophoresis-based RT-multiplex PCR (RT-mPCR). The standard curve exhibited a linear range across 8-log10 units of viral RNA dilution. The reproducibility and specificity of this assay were reasonably high suggesting that the 3Dpol-specific SYBR green rRT-PCR could detect FMDV genome specifically and with little run-to-run variation. The new 3Dpol-specific SYBR green rRT-PCR assay was evaluated alongside the established RT-mPCR using the archived FMDV isolates and clinical field samples from suspected FMD outbreaks. A perfect concordance was observed between the new rRT-PCR and the traditional RT-mPCR on viral RNA in the archived FMDV cell culture isolates tested. Furthermore, 73% of FMDV-suspected clinical samples were detected positive through the 3Dpol-specific SYBR green rRT-PCR, while the detection rate through the traditional RT-mPCR was 57%. Therefore, the SYBR green-based 3Dpol-specific one-step rRT-PCR could be considered as a valuable assay with higher diagnostic sensitivity to complement the routine assays that are being used for FMD virus diagnosis in India.

Abstract
An exogenous "armoured" PCR internal control (IC) short RNA was analyzed in conjunction with real-time RT-PCR method for diagnosis of avian influenza. The resistance to nucleases and increased physical stability of the IC was ensured using branched polyethyleneimine (PEI) which was in complex with IC-RNA. The option to add the IC directly to pathological material suspensions allows measurement of the nucleic acids extraction efficiency. Stability of armoured RNA-IC during storage and tissue suspension preparation was shown. The advantage of exogenous "armoured" IC was demonstrated in the experiment with AIV genome detection by qPCR in samples from different species of wild birds. The exogenous IC gave reproducible homogeneous Ct values in all tests.

Abstract
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral disease affecting cloven-hoofed animals that causes severe economic losses. The disease is characterized by a vesicular condition and it cannot be differentiated from other vesicular diseases. Therefore, laboratory confirmation of any suspected FMD case is compulsory. Despite viral isolation in cell cultures has been considered for many years as the gold standard for FMD diagnosis, the advantages of real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) technology have motivated its use directly in clinical specimens for FMD diagnosis. The current work was aimed to develop and validate a molecular multi-check strategy using rRT-PCR (mMulti-rRT-PCR) based on SYBR-Green I for pan/foot-and-mouth disease virus (pan/FMDV) diagnosis. From in silico approaches, different primer pairs previously reported were selected and modified to reduce the likelihood of viral escape as well as potential failures in the pan/FMDV detection. The analytical parameters were evaluated using a high number of representative viral strains. The repeatability of the assay and its performance on field samples were also assessed. The mMulti-rRT-PCR was able to detect emergent FMDV strains that circulated in South America between the years 2006–2010 and on which the single rRT-PCRs failed when they were applied independently. The results obtained here showed that the proposed system is an accurate and rapid diagnosis method for sensitive and specific detection of FMDV. Thus, a validated mMulti-rRT-PCR assay based on SYBR-Green I detection coupled to melting curves resolution for pan/FMDV diagnosis on clinical samples is proposed. This study also highlights the need to incorporate the multi-target detection principle in the diagnosis of highly variable agents, specially, of those listed by OIE like FMDV.

Abstract
The amplification and detection of diverse strains of an infectious virus or bacteria, or variants within a gene family is important for both clinical and basic research but can be difficult using conventional PCR. This report describes and illustrates a novel closed-tube method for amplifying and characterizing heterogeneous target sequences using members of the CTX-M beta-lactamase gene family. Different subgroups of CTX-M genes exhibit low sequence identity, but accurate and efficient detection of these variants is critical because they all confer resistance to penicillin, cefotaxime, and other antibiotics of the beta-lactam class. The method combines a single pair of "thermodynamic consensus primers" (tcPrimers) with one or more "initiator primers" (iPrimers), added at low concentration (5-10 nM). Each iPrimer improves the initial amplification of one or more variants because it has fewer mismatches to its intended target than the more abundant tcPrimers. As a result of initial amplification, each heterogeneous sequence is shifted stepwise toward a better match with the tcPrimers. As soon as the tcPrimer hybridization takes place, amplification proceeds with high efficiency. The tcPrimer pairs can be designed for symmetric PCR or for Linear-After-The-Exponential (LATE)-PCR. LATE-PCR offers the advantage of generating single-stranded DNA that can be characterized for different gene variants in the same closed tube, using low-temperature mismatch-tolerant fluorescent probes.

Abstract
FMDV is highly infectious and can only be handled in high-containment laboratories. This study has developed encapsidated control particles containing FMDV RNA. The construct contains target sequences for molecular assays used to detect FMDV. These control particles were evaluated using routine tests used for FMD diagnosis. These particles are non-infectious and temperature-stable.
Positive controls are an important component of the quality-control of molecular tests used for diagnosis of livestock diseases. For high consequence agents such as foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), the positive controls required to monitor template extraction, reverse transcription and amplification steps usually consist of material derived from infectious viruses. Therefore, their production is dependent upon the use of high containment facilities and their deployment carries the risks associated with inactivation of “live” FMDV. This paper describes the development of a novel non-infectious positive control that encodes FMDV RNA sequences that are encapsidated within Cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) particles. This surrogate RNA has been engineered to contain sequences from the 5′UTR and 3D regions of FMDV targeted by many molecular assays (conventional RT-PCR, real-time RT-PCR and RT-LAMP). These sequences were inserted into a movement-deficient version of CPMV RNA-2 which is rescued from cowpea plants (Vigna unguiculota) by inoculation with RNA-1. In order to evaluate the performance of these encapsidated RNAs, nucleic acid prepared from a 10-fold dilution series was tested using a range of molecular assays. Results generated by using the molecular assays confirmed RNA-dependent amplification and the suitability of these particles for use in a range of diagnostic tests. Moreover, these CPMV particles were highly stable for periods of up to 46 days at room temperature and 37 °C. Recombinant CPMV can be used to produce high yields of encapsidated RNAs that can be used as positive and negative controls and standards in molecular assays. This approach provides a surrogate that can be potentially used outside of containment laboratories as an alternative to inactivated infectious virus for molecular diagnostic testing.

Abstract
Accurate disease diagnosis in animals is crucial for animal well-being but also for preventing zoonosis transmission to humans. In particular, livestock diseases may constitute severe threats to humans due to the particularly high physical contact and exposure and, also, be the cause of important economic losses, even in non-endemic countries, where they often arise in the form of rapid and devastating epidemics. Rapid diagnostic tests have been used for a long time in field situations, particularly during outbreaks. However, they mostly rely on serological approaches, which may confirm the exposure to a particular pathogen but may be inappropriate for point-of-decision (point-of-care) settings when emergency responses supported on early and accurate diagnosis are required. Moreover, they often exhibit modest sensitivity and hence significantly depend on later result confirmation in central or reference laboratories. The impressive advances observed in recent years in materials sciences and in nanotechnology, as well as in nucleic-acid synthesis and engineering, have led to an outburst of new in-the-bench and prototype tests for nucleic-acid testing towards point-of-care diagnosis of genetic and infectious diseases. Manufacturing, commercial, regulatory, and technical nature issues for field applicability more likely have hindered their wider entrance into veterinary medicine and practice than have fundamental science gaps. This chapter begins by outlining the current situation, requirements, difficulties, and perspectives of point-of-care tests for diagnosing diseases of veterinary interest. Nucleic-acid testing, particularly for the point of care, is addressed subsequently. A range of valuable signal transduction mechanisms commonly employed in proof-of-concept schemes and techniques born on the analytical chemistry laboratories are also described. As the essential core of this chapter, sections dedicated to the principles and applications of microfluidics, lab-on-a-chip, and nanotechnology for the development of point-of-care tests are presented. Microdevices already applied or under development for application in field diagnosis of animal diseases are reviewed.

Rapid detection and identification of hepatitis C virus (HCV) sequences using mismatch-tolerant hybridization probes: A general method for analysis of sequence variation.

Abstract
Detection and identification of highly variable viral sequences is important for tracking infectious outbreaks and determining treatment regimens using targeted drug therapy. This report describes a single tube assay that is able to distinguish extensive sequence variation in hepatitis C virus (HCV) by using mismatch tolerant probes to analyze single-stranded amplicons generated with reverse transcription linear-after-the-exponential PCR (RT-LATE-PCR). Detection and identification of sequences from the 5' non-coding region (NCR) of 31 different HCV strains was first evaluated via hybridization of two fluorescently labeled, mismatch-tolerant probes to synthetic DNA strands. The resulting data were used to calculate the ratio of fluorescent signals for the two probes over a wide temperature range as well as the melting temperature (Tm) of each probe with the targets. Although the Tm measurements alone distinguished only 5 sequences from the others, fluorescent signal ratio analysis provided a unique set of values for 27 of the 31 strains. RT-LATE-PCR was then used to amplify Armored RNA (AR) containing the 5' NCR of five different strains of HCV. Melting analysis of the resulting single-stranded DNA with the two probes distinguished all five AR sequences. This assay can be expanded to include additional gene segments, and it points the way to construction of highly informative single-tube assays for HCV and other RNA viruses.

Abstract
Using foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) as an example, this review describes new tools that can be used to detect and characterise livestock diseases. In recent years, molecular tests that can detect and characterise pathogens in a diverse range of sample types have revolutionised laboratory diagnostics. In addition to use in centralised laboratories, there are opportunities to locate diagnostic technologies close to the animals with suspected clinical signs. Work in this area has developed simple-to-use lateral-flow devices for the detection of FMD virus (FMDV), as well as new hardware platforms to allow molecular testing to be deployed into the field for use by non-specialists. Once FMDV has been detected, nucleotide sequencing is used to compare field strains with reference viruses. Transboundary movements of FMDV are routinely monitored using VP1 sequence data, while higher resolution transmission trees (at the farm-to-farm level) can be reconstructed using full-genome sequencing approaches. New technologies such as next-generation sequencing technologies are now being applied to dissect the viral sequence populations that exist within single samples. The driving force for the use of these technologies has largely been influenced by the priorities of developed countries with FMD-free (without vaccination) status. However, it is important to recognise that these approaches also show considerable promise for use in countries where FMD is endemic, although further modifications (such as sample archiving and strain and serotype characterisation) may be required to tailor these tests for use in these regions. Access to these new diagnostic and sequencing technologies in sub-Saharan Africa have the potential to provide novel insights into FMD epidemiology and will impact upon improved strategies for disease control.Effective control of infectious diseases is reliant upon accurate diagnosis of clinical cases using laboratory tests, together with an understanding of factors that impact upon the epidemiology of the infectious agent. A wide range of new diagnostic tools and nucleotide sequencing methods are used by international reference laboratories to detect and characterise the agents causing outbreaks of infectious diseases. In the past, high costs (initial capital expenses, as well as day-to-day maintenance and running costs) and complexity of the protocols used to perform some of these tests have limited the use of these methods in smaller laboratories. However, simpler and more cost-effective formats are now being developed that offer the prospect that these technologies will be even more widely deployed into laboratories particularly those in developing regions of the world such as sub-Saharan Africa.

Abstract
A one-step RT-PCR method using newly designed primers VN-VP1F/VN-VP1R targeting the full VP1 capsid protein-coding gene, combined with direct sequencing of its PCR product, has been developed successfully for universal detection and characterization of Vietnamese FMDV serotypes O, A, and Asia 1 directly from clinical samples. The one-step RT-PCR amplified 821-bp dsDNA products covering the entire VP1 gene of FMDV serotypes O, A, and Asia 1. The obtained dsDNA products were suitable for direct sequencing, cloning, and other molecular epidemiology studies of Vietnamese FMDV strains, which eliminated the need for cell culture and virus purification. This one-step RT-PCR system was applied to detect and characterize 55 field FMDV strains, including 34 serotype O, 17 serotype A, and 4 serotype Asia 1 isolates collected from endemic outbreaks in Vietnam from 2005 to 2010. Interestingly, the PCR products obtained from the present PCR method could be used as DNA templates for the second PCR typing method using serotypes O, A, and Asia 1-specific primers (Le et al., 2011). The use of the second PCR amplification increased markedly the sensitivity of the test for FMDV detection. The present RT-PCR method promises to be an effective tool for molecular epidemiological studies of FMD in Vietnam.
