Development of the isothermal recombinase polymerase amplification assays for rapid detection of the genus Capripoxvirus.
Journal of virological methods(2023)
Abstract
Sheeppox virus (SPPV), goatpox virus (GTPV) and lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) belong to the genus Capripoxvirus (CaPV), and are important pathogens of sheep, goat and cattle, respectively. Rapid and reliable detection of CaPV is critical to prevent its spread and promote its eradication. This study aimed to develop the recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) assays combined with real-time fluorescence (real-time RPA) and naked-eye visible lateral flow strip (LFS RPA) for rapid detection of CaPV. Both developed RPA assays worked well at 39 °C within 20min. They were highly specific for the detection of GTPV, SPPV and LSDV, while no cross-reactivity was observed for other non-targeted pathogens and genomic DNA of goat, sheep and cattle. The limit of detection for real-time RPA and LFS RPA were 1.0×10 and 1.0×10 copies per reaction, respectively. In the artificially contaminated samples with GTPV, the detection results of RPA assays were consistent with those of real-time PCR. For 15 clinical samples, LSDV was detected by real-time RPA, LFS RPA and real-time PCR in 13, 15 and 15 samples, respectively. The developed RPA assays were specific, sensitive, and user-friendly for the rapid detection of CaPV, and could be a better alternative method applied in low-resources settings.
