Abstract:
【Objective】 There is a need for the development of a clinically rapid, simple, and accurate method for the detection of PRRSV.
【Methods】 This study aims to establish a method based on reverse transcription recombinase-mediated isothermal amplification fluorescence detection of PRRSV. The method was developed by designing specific primers and probes against the PRRSV ORF4 gene sequence.
【Results】 The fluorescent RT-RAA assay could be amplified with primers and probes at 41℃ for 20 min, and the results could be observed in real time by a fluorescence quantitative PCR instrument. The method had high sensitivity and strong specificity, and no cross-reactivity with other porcine pathogens.
【Conclusion】 The fluorescent RT-RAA and PCR used to test 180 samples showed the compliance rate between the two methods was 98.3%.
