Infectious myonecrosis virus (IMNV) has affected shrimp farming in many countries, such as northeastern Brazil and southeast Asia, and poses a serious threat to the global shrimp industry. Reverse transcription enzymatic recombinant amplification technology (RT-ERA) is a rapid DNA amplification assay with high specificity in isothermal conditions and has been widely applied to the pathogen's detection. In this study, two novel ERA assays of IMNV, real-time RT-ERA and an RT-ERA combined with lateral flow dipsticks assay (RT-ERA-LFD), were developed and evaluated. The real-time RT-ERA assay could be carried out at 38-42 °C and had the highest end-point fluorescence value and the smallest Ct value at 41 °C. The brightness and width of the detection line were at a maximum at 39 °C and 30 min, and these conditions were selected in RT-ERA-LFD. Both real-time RT-ERA and RT-ERA-LFD produced positive results with IMNV standard plasmids only and showed no cross-reaction with Vibrio parahaemolyticus, which causes acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (VpAHPND); white spot syndrome virus (WSSV); infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV); or Ecytonucleospora hepatopenaei (EHP). Meanwhile, we compared the sensitivities of nested RT-PCR, real-time RT-PCR, real-time RT-ERA, and RT-ERA-LFD. The sensitivities of real-time RT-ERA and RT-ERA-LFD were both 10 copies/μL. The detection sensitivities of nested RT-PCR and real-time RT-PCR were 10 and 10 copies/μL, respectively. As a result, two ERA assays were determined to be specific, sensitive, and economical methods for the on-site diagnosis of IMNV infection, showing great potential for the control of IMNV infections.
传染性肌肉坏死病毒(IMNV)已对巴西东北部和东南亚等许多国家的虾类养殖业造成影响,对全球虾类产业构成严重威胁。逆转录酶重组扩增技术(RT-ERA)是一种在等温条件下具有高特异性的快速 DNA 扩增检测方法,已广泛应用于病原体检测。本研究中,我们开发并评估了两种新型的 IMNV ERA 检测方法,即实时 RT-ERA 和 RT-ERA 与侧向流动条带检测(RT-ERA-LFD)的组合。实时 RT-ERA 检测可在 38-42°C 下进行,在 41°C 时具有最高的终点荧光值和最小的 Ct 值。检测线的亮度和宽度在 39°C 时达到最大值,且在 30 分钟时达到最大宽度,这些条件被选用于 RT-ERA-LFD。实时 RT-ERA 和 RT-ERA-LFD 仅对 IMNV 标准质粒产生阳性结果,与引起急性肝胰腺坏死病(VpAHPND)的副溶血弧菌、白斑综合征病毒(WSSV)、传染性皮下和造血坏死病毒(IHHNV)或对虾血细胞虹彩病毒(EHP)均无交叉反应。同时,我们比较了巢式 RT-PCR、实时 RT-PCR、实时 RT-ERA 和 RT-ERA-LFD 的灵敏度。实时 RT-ERA 和 RT-ERA-LFD 的灵敏度均为 10 拷贝/μL。巢式 RT-PCR 和实时 RT-PCR 的检测灵敏度分别为 10 和 10 拷贝/μL。因此,这两种 ERA 检测方法被确定为用于现场诊断 IMNV 感染的特异性、灵敏性和经济的方法,在控制 IMNV 感染方面具有很大的潜力。
