Avian influenza virus (AIV) subtype H5 is a highly contagious zoonotic disease and a serious threat to the farming industry and public health. Traditional detection methods, including virus isolation and real-time PCR, require tertiary biological laboratories and are time-consuming and complex to perform, making it difficult to rapidly diagnose H5 subtype avian influenza viruses. In this study, we successfully developed two methods, namely, RF-RT-RAA and RT-RAA-LFD, for rapid detection of H5-AIV. The assays are characterized by their high specificity, sensitivity, and user-friendliness. Moreover, the results of the reaction can be visually assessed, which are suitable for both laboratory testing and grassroots farm screening for H5-AIV.
禽流感病毒(AIV)亚型 H5 是一种高传染性的人畜共患病,对农业产业和公共卫生构成严重威胁。传统的检测方法,包括病毒分离和实时 PCR,需要三级生物实验室,并且操作繁琐复杂,难以快速诊断 H5 亚型禽流感病毒。在本研究中,我们成功开发了两种方法,即 RF-RT-RAA 和 RT-RAA-LFD,用于快速检测 H5-AIV。这些检测方法具有高度的特异性、灵敏度和易用性。此外,反应结果可以进行直观评估,适用于实验室检测和基层农场的 H5-AIV 筛查。
