Abstract
Orf virus (ORFV), the prototype species of the Parapoxvirus genus, is an important zoonotic virus, causing great economic losses in livestock production. At present, there are no effective drugs for orf treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to develop accurate and rapid diagnostic approaches for ORFV. Over decades, various diagnostic methods have been established, including conventional methods such as virus isolation and electron microscopy; serological methods such as virus neutralization test (VNT), immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay, immunofluorescence assay (IFA), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); and molecular methods such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), real-time PCR, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA), and recombinase-aided amplification (RAA) assay. This review provides an overview of currently available diagnostic approaches for ORFV and discusses their advantages and limitations and future perspectives, which would be significantly helpful for ORFV early diagnosis and surveillance to prevent outbreak of orf. KEY POINTS: • Orf virus emerged and reemerged in past years • Rapid and efficient diagnostic approaches are needed and critical for ORFV detection • Novel and sensitive diagnostic methods are required for ORFV detection.

Abstract
Orf is an important zoonotic disease caused by the Orf virus (ORFV) which can cause contagious pustular dermatitis in goats and sheep. Orf is widespread in most sheep-raising countries in the world, causing huge economic losses. Although diagnostic methods for ORFV infection already exist, it is still necessary to develop a time-saving, labor-saving, specific, low-cost and visual diagnostic method for rapid detection of ORFV in the field and application in grassroots laboratories. This study establishes a DNA extraction-free, real-time, visual recombinase-aided amplification (RAA) method for the rapid detection of ORFV. This method is specific to ORFV and does not cross-react with other common DNA viruses. The detection limits of the real-time RAA and visual judgment of the RAA assay at 95% probability were 13 and 21 copies per reaction for ORFV, respectively. Compared with qPCR, the sensitivity and specificity of the real-time RAA assay were 100%, and those of the visual RAA assay were 92.31% and 100.0%, respectively. The DNA extraction-free visual detection method of RAA established in this study can meet the needs of rapid onsite detection and grassroots laboratories and has important reference value and significance for the early diagnosis of diseased animals.

A lateral flow dipstick combined with reverse transcription recombinase polymerase amplification for rapid and visual detection of the BVDV and BPIV3. J Virol Methods 2021; 299:114343.

Abstract
Bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC) is a serious disease affecting feedlot cattle in China and likely other places worldwide. Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) and bovine parainfluenza virus type 3 (BPIV3) are principally responsible for causing BRDC, and are a major strain to the industrial economy. Eradication of these viruses/disease requires swift viral identification and treatment. Hence, this study established a fast and easy procedure of BVDV and BPIV3 identification that employs reverse transcription recombinase polymerase amplification (RT-RPA) and lateral flow dipstick (LFD), and uses primers and lateral flow (LF) probe targeting the 5'-UTR gene of BVDV and phosphoprotein P gene of BPIV3, respectively. Our assay was able to successfully amplify BVDV and BPIV3 RNA within 25 min at 35 °C using RT-RPA, with products visible on the LFD within 5 min at room temperature (RT). The lowest detection limits were 50 RNA molecules for BVDV and 34 RNA molecules for BPIV3 per reaction. We also demonstrated that the established dual RT-RPA LFD assay was precise and targeted, harboring excellent potential to become an onsite molecular diagnostic tool in the detection of BVDV and BPIV3. This method can detect BVDV (Pestivirus A, B) and BPIV3, and exhibit no cross-reaction with other viruses like the classical swine fever virus (CSFV) and infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (IBRV). The assay performance was further assessed with clinical samples, and demonstrated good performance in comparison to real-time RT-PCR (RT-qPCR). Moreover, the RT-RPA LFD assay was comparitively rapid and required minimal training.

Abstract
Circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has attracted attention as a non-invasive biomarker for diagnosing and monitoring various cancers. Given that human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA integration and overexpression of E6/E7 oncogenes are pivotal events for carcinogenesis, we sought to determine if HPV E7 cfDNA could serve as a specific biomarker for cervical cancer detection. We applied droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) to quantify HPV16/18 E7 cfDNA from the serum of patients with cervical cancer, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, and controls. HPV16/18 E7 cfDNA was highly specific for cervical cancer, displaying 30.77% sensitivity, 100% specificity, and an area under the curve of 0.65. Furthermore, we developed a sensitive isothermal detection of HPV16/18 E7 and the PIK3CA WT reference gene based on recombinase polymerase amplification combined with a lateral flow strip (RPA-LF). The assay took less than 30 min and the detection limit was 5-10 copies. RPA-LF exhibited 100% sensitivity and 88.24% specificity towards HPV16/18 E7 cfDNA in clinical samples. The agreement between RPA-LF and ddPCR was 83.33% (κ = 0.67) for HPV16 E7 and 100% (κ = 1.0) for HPV18 E7, indicating a good correlation between both tests. Therefore, we conclude that HPV E7 cfDNA represents a potential tumor marker with excellent specificity and moderate sensitivity for minimally invasive cervical cancer monitoring. Moreover, the RPA-LF assay provides an affordable, rapid, and ultrasensitive tool for detecting HPV cfDNA in resource-limited settings.

Abstract
DNA is now well-established as a nanoscale building material with applications in fields such as biosensing and molecular computation. Molecular processes such as logic gates, nucleic acid circuits, and multiplexed detection have used different readout strategies to measure the output signal. In biosensing, this output can be the diagnosis of a disease biomarker, whereas in molecular computation, the output can be the result of a mathematical operation carried out using DNA. Recent developments have shown that the output of such processes can be displayed graphically as a macroscopic symbol or an alphanumeric character on multiwell plates, microarray chips, gels, lateral flow devices, and DNA origami surfaces. This review discusses the concepts behind such graphical readouts of molecular events, available display platforms, and the advantages and challenges in adapting such methods for practical use. Graphical display systems have the potential to be used in the creation of intelligent computing and sensing devices by which nanoscale binding events are translated into macroscopic visual readouts.

Abstract
Mutation screening is elemental for clinical diagnosis and in determining therapeutic strategies. Nucleic acid-based techniques are considered to be the most accurate tools in genetic diagnosis. One such technique is loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay, which has seen tremendous applications in recent years. The advantages of the assay lie in its rapidity, efficiency, sensitivity, and cost. It works in isothermal conditions and amplifies the target gene using DNA polymerases that have strand displacement activity. To date, the assay has been widely used in different fields of research, including pathogen detection, crop development, and disease diagnosis. However, despite the potential, its application in mutation screening has been minimal. This review highlights the LAMP assay and its variants that have been developed for screening single-nucleotide polymorphisms and gene translocations in cancer.

Abstract
Peste des petits ruminants virus causes a highly contagious disease, which poses enormous economic losses in domestic animals and threatens the conservation of wild herbivores. Diagnosis remains a cornerstone to the Peste des petits ruminants Global Control and Eradication Strategy, an initiative of the World Organisation for Animal Health and the Food and Agriculture Organisation. The present review presents the peste des petits ruminants diagnostic landscape, including the practicality of commercially available diagnostic tools, prototype tests and opportunities for new technologies. The most common peste des petits ruminants diagnostic tools include; agar gel immunodiffusion, counter-immunoelectrophoresis, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction either gel-based or real-time, reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification, reverse transcription recombinase polymerase amplification assays, immunochromatographic lateral flow devices, luciferase immunoprecipitation system and pseudotype-based assays. These tests vary in their technical demands, but all require a laboratory with exception of immunochromatographic lateral flow and possibly reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification and reverse transcription recombinase polymerase amplification assays. Thus, we are proposing an efficient integration of diagnostic tests for rapid and correct identification of peste des petits ruminants in endemic zones and to rapidly confirm outbreaks. Deployment of pen-side tests will improve diagnostic capacity in extremely remote settings and susceptible wildlife ecosystems, where transportation of clinical samples in the optimum cold chain is unreliable.

Abstract
Brucellosis is a worldwide re-emerging zoonosis. It has an economic impact due to abortion and loss of fertility in livestock. In this study, Real-time recombinase polymerase amplification (RT-RPA-BP26) targeting Brucella spp. bp26 gene and Lateral flow dipstick (LFD-RPA-IS711) combined with SYBR- Green recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) targeting insertion sequence IS711 region of Brucella spp. bp26 gene, was developed to detect Brucella spp. from different sample types in domestic animals. The sensitivity and specificity of the two developed RPAs were compared with real-time PCR, PCR, and Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT). The analytical sensitivity and detection limit of Real-time RPA and LFD RPA were four and six copies per reaction respectively. The detection of six colony forming units (CFU) of the bacteria-bearing construct with the target sequence was within 20 min at 40 °C for Real-time RPA and 37 °C for LFD RPA. The LFD RPA could work at temperatures between 30 and 35 °C and could be completed within 10–30 min. No significant differences were observed when comparing the results from Real-time RPA and LFD RPA to Real-time PCR and PCR. Both methods showed no cross reactivity with Chlamydia abortus, Toxoplasma gondii, Salmonella typhimurium, and Escherichia coli. In conclusion, RPA is a useful and convenient field and point of care test for brucellosis. RPA essays have been developed for detection of Brucella spp. Kappa analysis showed perfect agreement with RT-PCT Nd PCR.

Abstract
Nucleic acid analysis has become highly relevant for point-of-care (POC) diagnostics since the advent of isothermal amplification methods that do not require thermal cycling. In particular, recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) combined with lateral flow detection offers a rapid and simple solution for field-amenable low-resource nucleic acid testing. Expanding POC nucleic acid tests for the detection of multiple analytes is vital to improve diagnostic efficiency because increased multiplexing capacity enables higher information density combined with reduced assay time and costs. Here, we investigate expanding RPA POC detection by identifying a generic multiplex RPA format that can be combined with a generic multiplex lateral flow device (LFD) to enable binary and molecular encoding for the compaction of diagnostic data. This new technology relies on the incorporation of molecular labels to differentiate nucleic acid species spatially on a lateral flow membrane. In particular, we identified additional five molecular labels that can be incorporated during the RPA reaction for subsequent coupling with LFD detection. Combined with two previously demonstrated successful labels, we demonstrate potential to enable hepta-plex detection of RPA reactions coupled to multiplex LFD detection. When this hepta-plex detection is combined with binary and molecular encoding, an intuitive 7-segment output display can be produced. We note that in all experiments, we used an identical DNA template, except for the 5' label on the forward primer, to eliminate any effects of nucleic acid sequence amplification bias. Our proof-of-concept technology demonstration is highly relevant for developing information-compact POC diagnostics where space and time are premium commodities.

Abstract
Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) has emerged and spread throughout the porcine industry in many countries over the last 6 years. PDCoV caused watery diarrhoea, vomiting and dehydration in newborn piglets. A sensitive diagnostic method would be beneficial to the prevention and control of PDCoV infection. Recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) is an isothermal amplification method which has been widely used for virus detection. A probe-based reverse transcription RPA (RT-RPA) assay was developed for real-time detection of PDCoV. The amplification can be finished in 20 min and fluorescence monitoring was performed by a portable device. The lowest detection limit of the PDCoV RT-RPA assay was 100 copies of RNA molecules per reaction; moreover, the RT-RPA assay had no cross-reaction with other common swine viruses. The clinical performance of the RT-RPA assay was evaluated using 108 clinical samples (54 intestine specimens and 54 faecal swab specimens). The coincidence rate of the detection results for clinical samples between RT-RPA and RT-qPCR was 97.2%. In summary, the real-time RT-RPA assay offers a promising alternative to RT-qPCR for point-of-care detection of PDCoV.

Abstract
The fungus Leptosphaeria maculans leading to Phoma stem canker (blackleg) of Brassica napus (oilseed rape, canola) produces the phytotoxin sirodesmin PL, which is responsible for major yield losses of oilseed rape worldwide. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) remains the gold standard diagnostic tool for L. maculans, but the required expensive equipment and long time make it inappropriate for fast field test. Herein, a portable system for rapid assaying L. maculans and L. biglobosa is designed around recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) with fluorescent probe as the signal indicator, which allowed the real-time assay of amplification performed on a portable device between 37 and 42 °C. The time needed to observe the positive reaction results is controlled within 30 min. The proposed assay system is a good choice for on-site disease screening of oilseed rape plant where rapid detection is valuable, including port quarantine, agriculture quality testing, and pathogen spreading control.

Abstract
Background As an important component of the causative agent of respiratory tract infections, enteric and eye infections, Human mastadenoviruses (HAdVs) species B spread easily in the crowd. In this study, we developed a recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) assay for rapidly detecting HAdVs species B which was comprised of two different formats (real-time and lateral-flow device). Results This assay was confirmed to be able to detect 5 different HAdVs species B subtypes (HAdV-B3, HAdV-B7, HAdV-B11, HAdV-B14 and HAdV-B55) without cross-reactions with other subtypes and other respiratory tract pathogens. This RPA assay has not only highly sensitivity with low detection limit of 50 copies per reaction but also short reaction time (< 15 min per detection). Furthermore, the real-time RPA assay has excellent correlation with real-time PCR assay for detection of HAdVs species B presented in clinical samples. Conclusions Thus, the RPA assay developed in this study provides an effective and portable approach for the rapid detection of HAdVs species B.

Abstract
Vibrio harveyi is a pathogen that infects fish and shellfish worldwide, causing severe economic losses for the aquaculture industry. As the early diagnosis of V. harveyi infection is crucial to disease surveillance and prevention in cultured marine animals, a fast and accurate method to detect V. harveyi is required. Here, we performed recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) using novel primers specifically designed to recognize the V. harveyi toxR gene, which encodes a transmembrane protein, and then hybridized this gene with a carboxy fluorescein (FAM)-labeled probe. The optimal conditions for the real-time RPA assay were a probe concentration of 90 nM and a 20 min incubation at 37 °C. The sensitivity of our real-time RPA assay was 50 copies of the standard plasmid, while that of real-time PCR was 500 copies. In V. harveyi-spiked Pseudosciaena crocea samples, the sensitivity of our real-time RPA was 60 CFUs per reaction, while that of PCR was 600 CFUs per reaction. SPSS probit regression analysis indicated that the limit of detection (LOD) of our RPA assay, with 95% probability, was 18 copies. The LOD was reached within 20 min and was highly reproducible across eight independent assays. Our novel RPA method successfully differentiated V. harveyi from all other tested Vibrio species, including some that were closely related. Our real-time RPA assay, in combination with a rapid DNA extraction protocol, is a fast and accurate tool for the detection of V. harveyi and for monitoring disease outbreaks. This tool will be valuable for the aquaculture industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mycoplasma bovis (M. bovis) is a major etiological agent of bovine mycoplasmosis around the world. Point-of-care testing in the field is lacking owing to the requirement for a simple, robust field applicable test that does not require professional laboratory equipment. The recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) technique has become a promising isothermal DNA amplify assay for use in rapid and low-resource diagnostics. RESULTS Here, a method for specific detection of M. bovis DNA was established, which was RPA combined with lateral flow dipstick (LFD). First, the analytical specificity and sensitivity of the RPA primer and LF-probe sets were evaluated. The assay successfully detected M. bovis DNA in 30 min at 39 °C, with detection limit of 20 copies per reaction, which it was compared the real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay. This method was specific because it did not detect a selection of other bacterial pathogens in cattle. Both qPCR and RPA-LFD assays were used to detect M. bovis 442 field samples from 42 different dairy farms in Shandong Province of China, also the established RPA-LFD assay obtained 99.00% sensitivity, 95.61% specificity, and 0.902 kappa coefficient compared with the qPCR. CONCLUSIONS To the author's knowledge, this is the first report using an RPA-FLD assay to visualise and detect M. bovis. Comparative analysis with qPCR indicates the potential of this assay for rapid diagnosis of bovine mycoplasmosis in resource limited settings.

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.

Abstract
Paratuberculosis (Johne's disease) is a chronic debilitating disease of domestic and wild ruminants. However, widespread point-of-care testing is infrequent due to the lack of a robust method. The isothermal recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) technique has applied for rapid diagnosis. Herein, RPA combined with a lateral flow dipstick (LFD) assay was developed to estimate DNA from Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis. First, analytical specificity and sensitivity of the RPA-nfo primer and probe sets were assessed. The assay successfully detected M. paratuberculosis DNA in 30 min at 39℃ with a detection limit of up to eight copies per reaction, which was equivalent to that of the real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assay. The assay was specific, as it did not amplify genomes from five other Mycobacterium spp. or five pathogenic enteric bacteria. Six hundred-twelve clinical samples (320 fecal and 292 serum) were assessed by RPA-LFD, qPCR, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. The RPA-LFD assay yielded 100% sensitivity, 97.63% specificity, and 98.44% concordance rate with the qPCR results. This is the first report utilizing an RPA-LFD assay to visualize and rapidly detect M. paratuberculosis. Our results show this assay should be a useful method for the diagnosis of paratuberculosis in resource-constrained settings.

Abstract
Orf virus (ORFV) is a member of genus Parapoxvirus that causes contagious ecthyma in goats. A pox-like disease was investigated in Tellicherry goats (31 female) maintained at a semi-organized farm. History revealed recent introduction of Tellicherry goats for breeding purpose and housing of the new entrants in to a farm already having a mild form of pox-like disease. Newly introduced and stressed Tellicherry goats developed severe form of infection with 100% morbidity. Affected goats showed lesions around lips (100%), commissure (53%) and oral cavity (65%); exanthematic dermatitis was evident in 94% of the affected goats followed by ulceration (47%) and nodular lesions (24%). Scab samples were collected from affected goats to confirm the clinical diagnosis. Genus Parapoxvirus was confirmed by the amplification of specific 594 bp and 235 bp amplicons. Further, Orf virus specific amplicon of size 1,206 bp was also amplified for the confirmation. Sequence analysis of PCR amplicons showed close resemblance of the outbreak strain with reported Indian Orf virus isolates. Based on the homology of the outer envelope protein B2L gene sequence of Orf virus, the source of infection to the Tellicherry goats was traced to the local goat. Although Orf virus is zoonotic; however, no occupational transmission was noticed in the present outbreak.

Abstract
Contagious pustular dermatitis is an exanthematous zoonotic disease caused by the orf virus. Pandemic outbreaks of this disease cause great economic losses, while the pathogenesis of this disease still remains obscure. In this study, blood samples were collected from 628 asymptomatic goats across China for PCR-based virus detection. We detected the orf virus in the blood of asymptomatic goats. Moreover, the orf virus obtained from the blood of infected goats was infectious and induced typical symptoms of contagious pustular dermatitis after inoculation of uninfected dairy goats. In summary, our data provide evidence that asymptomatic animals may be carriers of orf virus. Our findings should contribute to elucidating the details underlying the pathogenesis of contagious pustular dermatitis.

Abstract
Multiplexed isothermal amplification and detection of nucleic acid sequences and biomarkers is of increasing importance in diverse areas including advanced diagnostics, food quality control and environmental monitoring. Whilst there are several very elegant isothermal amplification approaches, multiplexed amplification remains a challenge, requiring careful experimental design and optimisation, from judicious primer design in order to avoid the formation of primer dimers and non-specific amplification, applied temperature as well as the ratio and concentration of primers. In this review, we describe the various approaches that have been reported to date for multiplexed isothermal amplification, for both "one-pot" multiplexing as well as parallelised multiplexing using loop-mediated isothermal amplification, strand-displacement amplification, helicase-dependent amplification, rolling circle amplification, nucleic acid sequence-based amplification, with a particular focus on recombinase polymerase amplification.

Abstract
Recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) is a highly sensitive and selective isothermal amplification technique, operating at 37-42°C, with minimal sample preparation and capable of amplifying as low as 1-10 DNA target copies in less than 20 min. It has been used to amplify diverse targets, including RNA, miRNA, ssDNA and dsDNA from a wide variety of organisms and samples. An ever increasing number of publications detailing the use of RPA are appearing and amplification has been carried out in solution phase, solid phase as well as in a bridge amplification format. Furthermore, RPA has been successfully integrated with different detection strategies, from end-point lateral flow strips to real-time fluorescent detection amongst others. This review focuses on the different methodologies and advances related to RPA technology, as well as highlighting some of the advantages and drawbacks of the technique.

This is the first study to use RPA to detect AbHV and RGNNV. Reaction can be finished at 37 °C in 20 min; time can be further reduced to 5 min for high viral load sample. The detection limits are 100 viral DNA copies per reaction for both viruses. Detection methods for both viruses have good specificity without false positive results.
Abalone herpes-like virus (AbHV) and Red-spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV) are two serious viruses that infect animal populations in aquaculture. Both viruses cause diseases associated with high mortality rates, resulting in dramatic economic losses in the aquaculture industry. There are currently no effective treatments for either of these two viral diseases. Thus, early, rapid, and accurate diagnosis plays a fundamental role in disease prevention and control in aquaculture. Traditional methods of diagnosis, such as virus culture, enzyme-linked immunoassay, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR), are either time consuming or require sophisticated temperature control devices. In this study, one sets of specific primers and probes were designed for the real-time quantitative recombinase polymerase amplification (qRPA) detection of AbHV and RGNNV separately. The sensitivity and specificity of detection were evaluated by comparison with detection by conventional PCR and quantitative PCR. The optimal reaction temperature and time for virus detection is 37 °C for 20 min. The detection limit is 100 copies per reaction, making this approach faster and more sensitive than qPCR in this study. In a field application, the detection percentage of qRPA was higher than that of qPCR for both AbHV and NNV. Additionally, good correlation was found between qRPA and qPCR detection (R2 > 0.8). The methods presented here can be used as alternatives to qPCR for quick and quantitative detection of pathogens infecting aquaculture species.

Abstract
Background Goatpox virus (GTPV) and sheeppox virus (SPPV), which belong to the Capripoxvirus (CaPV), are economically important pathogens of small ruminants. Therefore, a sensitive, specific and rapid diagnostic assay for detection of GTPV and SPPV is necessary to accurately and promptly control these diseases. Methods Recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) assays combined with a real-time fluorescent detection (real-time RPA assay) and lateral flow dipstick (RPA LFD assay) were developed targeting the CaPV G-protein-coupled chemokine receptor (GPCR) gene, respectively. Results The sensitivity of both CaPV real-time RPA assay and CaPV RPA LFD assay were 3 × 102 copies per reaction within 20 min at 38 °C. Both assays were highly specific for CaPV, with no cross-reactions with peste des petits ruminants virus, foot-and-mouth disease virus and Orf virus. The evaluation of the performance of these two assays with clinical sample (n = 107) showed that the CaPV real-time RPA assay and CaPV RPA LFD assay were able to specially detect SPPV or GTPV present in samples of ovine in liver, lung, kidney, spleen, skin and blood. Conclusions This study provided a highly time-efficient and simple alternative for rapid detection of GTPV and SPPV.

Development of Isothermal Recombinase Polymerase Amplification Assay for Rapid Detection of Porcine Circovirus Type 2. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2017; 2017:8403642. [PMID: 28424790 PMCID: PMC5382309 DOI: 10.1155/2017/8403642] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2016] [Accepted: 03/13/2017] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Porcine circovirus virus type II (PCV2) is the etiology of postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS), porcine dermatitis, nephropathy syndrome (PDNS), and necrotizing pneumonia. Rapid diagnosis tool for detection of PCV2 plays an important role in the disease control and eradication program. Recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) assays using a real-time fluorescent detection (PCV2 real-time RPA assay) and RPA combined with lateral flow dipstick (PCV2 RPA LFD assay) were developed targeting the PCV2 ORF2 gene. The results showed that the sensitivity of the PCV2 real-time RPA assay was 102 copies per reaction within 20 min at 37°C and the PCV2 RPA LFD assay had a detection limit of 102 copies per reaction in less than 20 min at 37°C. Both assays were highly specific for PCV2, with no cross-reactions with porcine circovirus virus type 1, foot-and-mouth disease virus, pseudorabies virus, porcine parvovirus, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus, and classical swine fever virus. Therefore, the RPA assays provide a novel alternative for simple, sensitive, and specific identification of PCV2.
