Yilmaz S, Batuman O. Development of a reverse transcription recombinase polymerase amplification combined with lateral flow assay for equipment-free on-site field detection of tomato chlorotic spot virus. Virol J 2023; 20:136. [PMID: 37349823 PMCID: PMC10288760 DOI: 10.1186/s12985-023-02097-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2023] [Accepted: 06/11/2023] [Indexed: 06/24/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Tomato chlorotic spot virus (TCSV) is an economically important, thrips-transmitted, emerging member of the Orthotospovirus genus that causes significant yield loss mainly in tomatoes, but also in other vegetable and ornamental crops. Disease management of this pathogen is often challenging due to the limited availability of natural host resistance genes, the broad host range of TCSV, and the wide distribution of its thrips vector. Point-of-care detection of TCSV with a rapid, equipment-free, portable, sensitive, and species-specific diagnostic technique can provide prompt response outside the laboratory, which is critical for preventing disease progression and further spread of the pathogen. Current diagnostic techniques require either laboratory-dependent or portable electronic equipment and are relatively time-consuming and costly. RESULTS In this study, we developed a novel technique for reverse-transcription recombinase polymerase amplification combined with lateral flow assay (RT-RPA-LFA) to achieve a faster and equipment-free point-of-care detection of TCSV. The RPA reaction tubes containing crude RNA are incubated in the hand palm to obtain sufficient heat (∼36 °C) for the amplification without the need for equipment. Body-heat mediated RT-RPA-LFA is highly TCSV-specific with a detection limit as low as ∼6 pg/μl of total RNA from TCSV-infected tomato plants. The assay can be performed in 15 min in the field. CONCLUSION To the best of our knowledge, this is the first equipment-free, body-heat-mediated RT-RPA-LFA technique developed to detect TCSV. Our new system offers a time-saving advantage for the sensitive and specific diagnostic of TCSV that local growers and small nurseries in low-resource settings can use without skilled personnel.

Abstract
Aquaculture is the fastest-growing food-producing sector, with a global production of 122.6 million tonnes in 2020. Nonetheless, aquatic animal production can be hampered by the occurrence of viral diseases. Furthermore, intensive farming conditions and an increasing number of reared fish species have boosted the number of aquatic animals' pathogens that researchers have to deal with, requiring the quick development of new detection and study methods for novel unknown pathogens. In this respect, the molecular tools have significantly contributed to investigating thoroughly the structural constituents of fish viruses and providing efficient detection methods. For instance, next-generation sequencing has been crucial in reassignment to the correct taxonomic family, the sturgeon nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses, a group of viruses historically known, but mistakenly considered as iridoviruses. Further methods such as in situ hybridisation allowed objectifying the role played by the pathogen in the determinism of disease, as the cyprinid herpesvirus 2, ostreid herpesvirus 1 and betanodaviruses. Often, a combination of molecular techniques is crucial to understanding the viral role, especially when the virus is detected in a new aquatic animal species. With this paper, the authors would critically revise the scientific literature, dealing with the molecular techniques employed hitherto to study the most relevant finfish and shellfish viral pathogens.

FISH AND SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY REPORTS 2022; 3:100059. [PMID: 36419595 PMCID: PMC9680066 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsirep.2022.100059] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2022] [Revised: 06/21/2022] [Accepted: 06/22/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Established fluorescent probe-based RPA (exo RPA) and RPA-LFD methods for fast and sensitive detection of E. miricola. Exo RPA and RPA-LFD could detect E. miricola genomic DNA at 38 °C in 30 min. The detection sensitivity of exo RPA and RPA-LFD were 102 copies/μL. The exo RPA and RPA-LFD achieved rapid detection of E. miricola without bulky lab equipment.
Elizabethkingia miricola is a highly infectious pathogen, which causes high mortality rate in frog farming. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a rapid and sensitive detection method. In this study, two rapid and specific methods including recombinase polymerase amplification combined with lateral flow dipstick (RPA-LFD) and fluorescent probe-based recombinase polymerase amplification (exo RPA) were established to effectively detect E. miricola, which can accomplish the examination at 38 °C within 30 min. The limiting sensitivity of RPA-LFD and exo RPA (102 copies/μL) was ten-fold higher than that in generic PCR assay. The specificities of the two methods were verified by detecting multiple DNA samples (E. miricola, Staphylococcus aureus, Aeromonas hydrophila, Aeromonas veronii, CyHV-2 and Edwardsiella ictaluri), and the result showed that the single band was displayed in E. miricola DNA only. By tissue bacterial load and qRT-PCR assays, brain is the most sensitive tissue. Random 24 black spotted frog brain samples from farms were tested by generic PCR, basic RPA, RPA-LFD and exo RPA assays, and the results showed that RPA-LFD and exo RPA methods were able to detect E. miricola accurately and rapidly. In summary, the methods of RPA-LFD and exo RPA were able to detect E. miricola conveniently, rapidly, accurately and sensitively. This study provides prospective methods to detect E. miricola infection in frog culture.

Abstract
Infections of Cyprinid herpesvirus 2 in goldfish and farmed crucian carp (Carassius auratus gibelio) are still an urgent problem worldwide. Detection and prevention are necessary for the control of haematopoietic necrosis disease caused by CyHV-2. Although many sensitive molecular diagnostic methods have been developed, effective immunodiagnosis and neutralization approaches based on monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against CyHV-2 are still important to CyHV-2 study. In this experiment, purified CyHV-2 was used as antigens to produce monoclonal antibodies (Mabs). Six Mabs bound to different proteins were selected by Dot-blot screening and Western-blot analysis, and no one had cross-reactivity with closely related koi herpesvirus. Among them, Mabs 2E1-B10, 1F5-A3 and 4C4-A7 belonged to IgG1 isotype, while other three Mabs 3G9-B11, 3B4-G5 and 4F4-B7 belonged to IgM isotype. These six Mabs all could specifically detect CyHV-2 in CyHV-2 infected caudal fin of Carassius auratus gibelio (GiCF) cells by immunofluorescence assays. Then, the neutralization ability was tested in vitro, and the result showed that all six Mabs can attenuate CPE by CyHV-2 in vitro among which 2E1-B10 had the best neutralization ability. The virus proteins recognized by these six Mabs were identified by mass spectrometry identification, and the result showed they probably were ORF88, ORF55R, ORF115 and ORF151R. This study is the first to prepare Mabs by purifying CyHV-2, which will provide a practical basis for the in-depth study of CyHV-2 virus.

Abstract
Crucian carp (Carassius auratus) is one of the major freshwater species and is also a common food fish in China. Recently, Carassius auratus herpesvirus (CaHV) could induce fatal viral disease with high mortality of crucian carp, which had caused huge economic losses. In this study, we described a rapid and simple recombinase-aid amplification (RAA) assay coupled with lateral flow dipstick (LFD), which could achieve sensitive diagnosis of tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) of CaHV within 35 min at 40°C. Our RAA-LFD method had a satisfactory detection limit of 100 gene copies per reaction, which was 100-fold more sensitive than traditional PCR. In addition, no cross-reaction was observed with other viral pathogens, including koi herpesvirus (KHV), cyprinid herpesvirus 2 (CyHV-2), infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV), spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) and grass carp reovirus (GCRV). Furthermore, the overall cost of the method was cut in half compared to previous studies. In conclusion, RAA-LFD assay is therefore, a promising alternative for point-of-care testing (POCT) of CaHV, which is feasible and of certain value in application of aquatic disease control.

Abstract
Cyprinid herpesvirus 2 (CyHV-2) is a viral pathogen worldwide and causing high mortality on goldfish and silver crucian carp (Carassius auratus gibelio). In order to establish a stable and sensitive immunological diagnostic approach, the recombinant ORF121 protein encoded by the CyHV-2 ORF121 gene, was selected as a capture antigen to identify cells and tissues infected with CyHV-2 by immunological methods in this study. Firstly, the open reading frame of CyHV-2 ORF121 was cloned into the PGEX-4T-3 vector and expressed in Escherichia coli. Purified recombinant ORF121 protein was then used as an antigen to prepare monoclonal antibodies, and an efficient hybridoma cell line was selected by dot-blot assay. The resulting mAb-3D9 was applied to detect CyHV-2 in infected caudal fin of Carassius auratus gibelio (GiCF) cells and fish tissues by western blotting, immunofluorescence assays and immunohistological asays. The monoclonal antibody could specifically identify CyHV-2 in infected GiCF cells and the gills, the kidney and the spleen tissues, and it could attenuate CPE by CyHV-2 in vitro, suggesting it can be applied for CyHV-2 detection in the crucian carp and ORF121 may be a candidate vaccine against CyHV-2.

Abstract
Largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) is an important freshwater-cultured species in China. Recently, a lethal and epidemic disease caused by Micropterus salmoides rhabdovirus (MSRV) results in huge economic losses to the largemouth bass industry. Current diagnostics for detecting MSRV are limited in sensitivity and speed and are inconvenient to be used for non-laboratory detection. In this study, three rapid and convenient detection assays of MSRV by recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) and lateral flow dipsticks (LFD), targeting the conserved sequences of the MSRV-SS N gene, are described. With these RPA methods, the detection could achieve within 50 min at 38°C. Both methods of RPA-AGE and RPA-LFD could detect the viral DNA as low as 170 copies/μl of the MSRV standard plasmid and were 100-fold more sensitive than that in the method of routine PCR. Meanwhile, these RPA methods were highly specific for the detection of MSRV and can be feasibly applied to the diagnostic of MSRV infection. In brief, RPA-AGE, RPA-LFD and RT-RPA-LFD provide convenient, rapid, sensitive and reliable methods that could improve field diagnosis of MSRV with limited machine resources, and would enhance the production of largemouth bass.

Abstract
Cyprinid herpesvirus 2 (CyHV-2) is the etiological agent of herpesviral hematopoietic necrosis disease (HVHND), which causes severe mortality in ornamental goldfish (Carassius auratus), crucian carp (Carassius auratus), and gibel/prussian carp (Carassius gibelio). Quick and hassle-free point-of-care detection of CyHV-2 is vital for the maintenance of ornamental fish health. In this manuscript, we describe the development of a rapid and sensitive RPA (recombinase polymerase amplification) assay, coupled with lateral flow dipsticks (LFD), that can achieve sensitive diagnosis of CyHV-2 in goldfish within 20 min at 36 °C with the satisfactory detection limit of 102 gene copies per reaction. This is the first report wherein major capsid protein (MCP) of CyHV-2 was targeted for RPA-LFD assay development. The assay did not show any cross-reactivity with other viral pathogens like cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3), spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV), infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV), and viral nervous necrosis virus (VNNV). Furthermore, screening of CyHV-2 infection in CyHV-2-infected goldfish did not yield any false positive/negative results. In short, the RPA-LFD assay developed in this study presents a simple, rapid, and sensitive method for point-of-care diagnosis of CyHV-2, especially under resource-limited conditions.

Abstract
Cyprinid herpesvirus 2 (CyHV-2), a member of the Alloherpesviridae family belonging to the genus Cyprinivirus, is a fatal contagious aquatic pathogen that affects goldfish (Carassius auratus) and crucian carp (Carassius carassius). Although crucian carp and goldfish belong to the genus Carassius, it is unclear whether they are susceptible to the same CyHV-2 isolate. In addition, the origin of the crucian carp-derived CyHV-2 virus isolate remains unclear. CyHV-2 SH01 was isolated during herpesviral hematopoietic necrosis disease (HVHN) outbreaks in crucian carp at a local fish farm near Shanghai. CyHV-2 SH01 was confirmed by PCR and Western blot analysis of kidney, spleen, muscle, and blood tissue from the diseased crucian carp. Moreover, histopathological and ultra-pathological analyses revealed pathological changes characteristic of CyHV-2 SH01 infection in the tissues of the diseased crucian carp. In the present study, goldfish and crucian carp were challenged with CyHV-2 SH01 to elucidate viral virulence. We found that CyHV-2 SH01 could cause rapid and fatal disease progression in goldfish and crucian carp 24 h post-injection at 28 °C. Experimental infection of goldfish by injection indicated that the average virus titer in the kidney of the goldfish was 103.47 to 103.59 copies/mg. In addition, tissues exhibited the most prominent histopathological changes (cellular wrinkling and shrinkage, cytoplasmic vacuolation, fusion of the gill lamellae, and hepatic congestion) in CyHV-2 SH01-infected goldfish and crucian carp. Thus, crucian carp and goldfish showed a high sensitivity, with typical symptoms, to HVHN disease caused by CyHV-2 SH01.

Abstract
Since the 1970s, several species of herpesviruses have been identified and associated with significant diseases in reptiles. Earlier discoveries placed these viruses into different taxonomic groups on the basis of morphological and biological characteristics, while advancements in molecular methods have led to more recent descriptions of novel reptilian herpesviruses, as well as providing insight into the phylogenetic relationship of these viruses. Herpesvirus infections in reptiles are often characterised by non-pathognomonic signs including stomatitis, encephalitis, conjunctivitis, hepatitis and proliferative lesions. With the exception of fibropapillomatosis in marine turtles, the absence of specific clinical signs has fostered misdiagnosis and underreporting of the actual disease burden in reptilian populations and hampered potential investigations that could lead to the effective control of these diseases. In addition, complex life histories, sampling bias and poor monitoring systems have limited the assessment of the impact of herpesvirus infections in wild populations and captive collections. Here we review the current published knowledge of the taxonomy, pathogenesis, pathology and epidemiology of reptilian herpesviruses.

Abstract
Background Milk vetch dwarf virus (MDV) is an important ssDNA virus which causes yellowing, stunting and leaf rolling symptoms on legumes. In China, the virus causes great economic losses and has recently been found to infect tobacco. The expansion of its host range and its ability to spread rapidly has given rise to the urgent need for a sensitive, specific and rapid diagnostic assay that can assist in effective disease control. Methods Assays based on the polymerase chain reaction combined with lateral flow strip detection (PCR-LFS) and recombinase polymerase amplification combined with LFS (RPA-LFS) were developed targeting the coat protein (CP) gene of MDV. Results The PCR and RPA assays could detect respectively 103 copies or 101 copies of MDV by agarose gel electrophoresis. The PCR-LFS and RPA-LFS assays developed could both detect as few as 101 copies per reaction at 37 °C. Both methods could detect MDV in crude leaf extracts. Conclusions The RPA-LFS assay developed is a rapid, sensitive and specific method for detecting MDV, which is convenient and has great potential for use in the field.

Abstract
Nucleic acid amplification technology (NAAT) has assumed a critical position in disease diagnosis in recent times and contributed significantly to healthcare. Application of these methods has resulted in a more sensitive, accurate and rapid diagnosis of infectious diseases than older traditional methods like culture-based identification. NAAT such as the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is widely applied but seldom available to resource-limited settings. Isothermal amplification (IA) methods provide a rapid, sensitive, specific, simpler and less expensive procedure for detecting nucleic acid from samples. However, not all of these IA techniques find regular applications in infectious diseases diagnosis. Disease diagnosis and treatment could be improved, and the rapidly increasing problem of antimicrobial resistance reduced, with improvement, adaptation, and application of isothermal amplification methods in clinical settings, especially in developing countries. This review centres on some isothermal techniques that have found documented applications in infectious diseases diagnosis, highlighting their principles, development, strengths, setbacks and imminent potentials for use at points of care.

Abstract
Nucleic acid-based techniques could achieve highly sensitive detection by amplifying template molecules to millions of folds. It has been one of the most valued analytical methods and is applied in many detection fields, such as diagnosis of infectious diseases, food safety assurance and so on. Nucleic acid-based techniques consist of three steps: nucleic acid extraction, amplification, and product detection. Among them, the detection step plays a vital role because it shows the results directly. As the trend of detection is simple, rapid and instrument-free, it is of necessity to carry out visual detection, where the result read-out could be visible and distinguished by the naked eye. In this critical review, advanced visual detection methods are summarized and discussed in detail, aiming to promote the potential application in on-site detection.
