The stubby root nematode, Paratrichodorus allius, is one of the most important plant-parasitic nematodes. Besides root feeding, P. allius also transmits the Tobacco rattle virus in potatoes, which causes corky ringspot disease. Rapid detection of P. allius is key for efficient management. This study was conducted to develop a real-time recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) assay that is capable of detecting P. allius directly in DNA extracts from soil using a simple portable device in real time. A fluorophore-attached probe was designed to target the internal transcribed spacer (ITS)-rDNA of P. allius and was used along with primers designed previously. The real-time RPA assay had the ability to detect P. allius DNA extracted directly from infested soil with a sensitivity of one-sixteenth portion of a single nematode. This RPA assay was specific, as it did not produce positive signals from non-target nematodes tested. The real-time RPA was found to be rapid as it could even detect P. allius in as little as 7 min. Testing with 15 field soil samples validated the RPA assay developed in this study. This is the first report of P. allius detection directly from soil DNA using real-time RPA and is the fastest method for P. allius detection in soil to date. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this issue, we established rapid, cost‐effective, and simple detection methods including recombines polymerase amplification with lateral flow dipstick (RPA‐LFD) and real‐time RPA for cyprinid herpesvirus 3(CyHV‐3), and evaluated their sensitivity, specificity, and applicability, the real‐time RPA method could achieve sensitive diagnosis of CyHV‐3 within 1.3 copies per reaction, respectively. The real‐time RPA method is 10‐fold more sensitive than RPA‐LFD method. The exact number of CyHV‐3 can be calculated in each sample by real‐time RPA. The sera from koi also can be tested in these methods. In addition, no cross‐reaction was observed with other related pathogens, including carp oedema virus (CEV), spring viraemia of carp virus (SVCV), cyprinid herpesvirus 1(CyHV‐1), cyprinid herpesvirus 2(CyHV‐2), type I grass carp reovirus (GCRV‐I), type II GCRV (GCRV‐II), type III GCRV (GCRV‐III), and Aeromonas hydrophila.

Duck is often used in meat fraud as a substitute for more expensive meats. Rapid detection of duck ingredient in meat products is of great significance for combating meat fraud and safeguarding the interests of consumers. Therefore, we aim to develop duck-specific recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA)-based assays for the rapid detection of duck ingredient in animal-derived foods. Using Cytb gene as target, the real-time RPA and RPA combined with lateral flow strips (LFS RPA) were developed successfully for the rapid detection of ducks in 20 min at 39 °C and 40 °C, respectively. The assays did not show cross-reactions with 6 other livestock and poultry. The developed RPA assays could detect 10 pg duck genomic DNA per reaction and 0.1 % (w/w) duck ingredient in duck and mutton mixed powder within 30 min, including a rapid nucleic acid extraction. Furthermore, duck ingredient could be detected in 30 different actual foods including heat-processed meats and blood products. Therefore, duck-specific real-time RPA and LFS RPA assays were successfully developed with good specificity and sensitivity, which could enable rapid detection of duck ingredient in the field and provide technical support for combating the meat fraud.

Background: Accurate diagnosis followed by timely treatment is an effective strategy for the prevention of complications together with reducing schistosomiasis transmission. Recombinase Polymerase Amplification (RPA) is a simple, rapid, sensitive, and specific isothermal method with low resource needs. This research aimed at the development and optimisation of a real-time (RT) and a lateral flow (LF) RPA assay for the detection of Schistosoma mansoni. Methodology: Recombinase Polymerase Amplification reactions were performed at full-(as recommended) and half-volumes (to reduce costs), with RT or LF detection systems targeting the S. mansoni mitochondrial minisatellite region. The specificity was assessed using gDNA from other Schistosoma species, helminths co-endemic with S. mansoni, human stool, and urine, and Biomphalaria snail hosts. The analytical sensitivity was evaluated using serial dilutions of gDNA, synthetic copies of the target, and single eggs. The ability of both assays to detect the S. mansoni DNA in human urine and stool samples was also tested. The long-term stability of the RT-RPA reagents was evaluated by storing the reaction components in different temperature conditions for up to 3 weeks. Results: The RT- and the LF-RPA (SmMIT- and SmMIT-LF-RPA, respectively) presented similar results when used full- and half-volumes, thus the latter was followed in all experiments. The SmMIT-RPA was 100% specific to S. mansoni, able to detect a single egg, with a limit of detection (LOD) of down to 1 fg of gDNA and one synthetic copy of the target. The assay was able to detect S. mansoni DNA from stool containing 1 egg/g and in spiked urine at a concentration of 10 fg/μl. SmMIT-RPA reagents were stable for up to 3 weeks when kept at 19°C, and 2 weeks when stored at 27°C. The SmMIT-LFRPA cross-reacted with Clinostomidae, presented the LOD of 10 fg and one synthetic copy of the target, being able to detect a single egg and 1 egg/g in a stool sample. The LOD in spiked urine samples was 10 pg/μl. Conclusion: The half-volume SmMIT-RPA is a promising method to be used in the field. It is specific, sensitive, robust, and tolerant to inhibitors, with a long-term stability of the reaction components and the real-time visualisation of results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

PUCCINIA striiformis , *WHEAT rusts , *ISOTHERMAL temperature , *RECOMBINASES , *GEL electrophoresis , *STRIPE rust - Abstract
Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), the airborne fungal pathogen of wheat stripe rust, causes a decline in wheat quality and severe yield loss. Effective field management of wheat stripe rust heavily relies on timely and accurate monitoring of incoming fungal sources. Therefore, rapid and accurate detection of Pst is invaluable in disease control programs. In this study, three assays using recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) combined with different visualization methods, including RPA followed by agarose gel electrophoresis, RPA lateral-flow dipstick (RPA-LFD) technology, and real-time RPA, were developed for rapidly and sensitively detecting Pst. The RPA and RPA-LFD assays were conducted at an isothermal temperature of 39 °C within 30 min. The real-time RPA assay required only a 20-min reaction at 39 °C. The specificities of the three assays were determined based on the lack of cross-reactivity with the other seven control wheat pathogens. The detection limits of RPA and real-time RPA were 105 fg/μL, and that of RPA-LFD was 104 fg/μL. Additionally, the three RPA assays detected Pst in field leaf samples. Among the 73 samples examined, 44 (60.3 %), 45 (61.6 %), and 60 (82.2 %) tested positive in the RPA, real-time RPA, and RPA-LFD assays, respectively. The result suggested that RPA-LFD was the most sensitive in detecting Pst from field samples. Giving the simple, rapid, and practical nature of RPA assays, this method can serve as a promising molecular diagnostic tools for accurate and rapid detection of Pst. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Escherichia coli O157 (E. coli O157) is one of the most dangerous foodborne pathogens worldwide. A convenient, sensitive, and specific method for the E. coli O157 detection is necessary. The present study developed an isothermal real-time recombinase polymerase amplification (real-time RPA) assay and an RPA combined with lateral flow strip (LFS-RPA) to detect E. coli O157 targeting the conserved region of the rfbE gene. Results of this study demonstrated that the real-time RPA was successfully conducted at the constant temperature of 39 °C for 20 min. Furthermore, the LFS-RPA was performed in an incubator block at 39 °C for 15 min, with the products visible with the naked eye within 5 min. It was found that the two RPA assays were highly specific to E. coli O157 and there were no cross-reactions with other microorganisms tested. The detection limit of E. coli O157 DNA or pure culture using LFS-RPA was 3.5 × 10
2 fg/μL and/or 1.0 × 102 CFU/mL, respectively, which was 10 times higher than that of real-time PCR and real-time RPA. Moreover, the practicality of the way to discover E. coli O157 was validated with artificial contamination assay. Positive results were obtained within 6–15 min in the real-time RPA and within 15 min in the LFS-RPA, while it took approximately between 28 and 45 min in the real-time PCR. Furthermore, these assays require no sophisticated instruments, specialized technicians, and strict laboratory conditions. All of these helps to manifest that the developed RPA assays were simple, highly specific, sensitive, and rapid, and they could be employed in resource-constrained areas.

Avian leukosis caused by avian leukosis virus (ALV), belonging to the genus Alpharetrovirus of the family Retroviridae, is associated with benign and malignant tumors in hemopoietic cells in poultry. Although several methods have been developed for ALV detection, most of them are not suitable for rapid on-site testing due to instrument limitations, professional operators, or the low sensitivity of the method. Herein, we described the real-time recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) assay for rapid detection of ALV subgroup J (ALV-J). The major viral structural glycoprotein gp85, highly specific for the subgroup, was used as the molecular target for the real-time RPA assay. The results were obtained at 38°C within 20 min, with the detection sensitivity of 10 copies/μl of standard plasmid pMD18-T-gp85 as the template per reaction. Real-time RPA was capable of ALV-J-specific detection without cross-reaction with other non-targeted avian pathogens. Of the 62 clinical samples tested, the ALV-positive rates of real-time RPA, PCR, and real-time PCR were 66.13% (41/62), 59.68% (37/62), and 67.74% (42/62), respectively. The diagnostic agreement between real-time RPA and real-time PCR was 98.39% (61/62), and the kappa value was 0.9636. The developed real-time ALV-J assay seems promising for rapid and sensitive detection of ALV-J in diagnostic laboratories. It is suitable for on-site detection, especially in a poor resource environment, thus facilitating the prevention and control of ALV-J.

Abstract Background Mycoplasmal pneumonia is an important infectious disease that threatens sheep and goat production worldwide, and Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae is one of major etiological agent causing mycoplasmal pneumonia. Recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) is an isothermal nucleic acid amplification technique, and RPA-based diagnostic assays have been described for the detection of different types of pathogens. Results The RPA assays using real-time fluorescence detection (real-time RPA) and lateral flow strip detection (LFS RPA) were developed to detect M. ovipneumoniae targeting a conserved region of the 16S rRNA gene. Real-time RPA was performed in a portable florescence scanner at 39 °C for 20 min. LFS RPA was performed in a portable metal bath incubator at 39 °C for 15 min, and the amplicons were visualized with the naked eyes within 5 min on the lateral flow strip. Both assays were highly specific for M. ovipneumoniae, as there were no cross-reactions with other microorganisms tested, especially the pathogens involved in respiratory complex and other mycoplasmas frequently identified in ruminants. The limit of detection of LFS RPA assay was 1.0 × 101 copies per reaction using a recombinant plasmid containing target gene as template, which is 10 times lower than the limit of detection of the real-time RPA and real-time PCR assays. The RPA assays were further validated on 111 clinical sheep nasal swab and fresh lung samples, and M. ovipneumoniae DNA was detected in 29 samples in the real-time RPA, 31 samples in the LFS RPA and 32 samples in the real-time PCR assay. Compared to real-time PCR, the real-time RPA and LFS RPA showed diagnostic specificity of 100 and 98.73%, diagnostic sensitivity of 90.63 and 93.75%, and a kappa coefficient of 0.932 and 0.934, respectively. Conclusions The developed real-time RPA and LFS RPA assays provide the attractive and promising tools for rapid, convenient and reliable detection of M. ovipneumoniae in sheep, especially in resource-limited settings. However, the effectiveness of the developed RPA assays in the detection of M. ovipneumoniae in goats needs to be further validated.

Abstract Background Vibrio parahaemolyticus (V. parahaemolyticus) is a leading cause of food poisoning and is of great importance to public health due to the frequency and seriousness of the diseases. The simple, timely and efficient detection of this pathogen is a major concern worldwide. In this study, we established a simple and rapid method based on recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) for the determination of V. parahaemolyticus. According to the gyrB gene sequences of V. parahaemolyticus available in GenBank, specific primers and an exo probe were designed for establishing real-time recombinase polymerase amplification (real-time RPA). Results The real-time RPA reaction was performed successfully at 38 °C, and results were obtained within 20 min. The method only detected V. parahaemolyticus and did not show cross-reaction with other bacteria, exhibiting a high level of specificity. The study showed that the detection limit (LOD) of real-time RPA was 1.02 × 102 copies/reaction. For artificially contaminated samples with different bacteria concentrations, V. parahaemolyticus could be detected within 5–12 min by real-time RPA in oyster sauce, codfish and sleeve-fish at concentrations as low as 4 CFU/25 g, 1 CFU/25 g and 7 CFU/25 g, respectively, after enrichment for 6 h, but were detected in a minimum of 35 min by real-time PCR (Ct values between 27 and 32). Conclusion This study describes a simple, rapid, and reliable method for the detection of V. parahaemolyticus, which could potentially be applied in the research laboratory and disease diagnosis.

The Real-time RPA was performed in a portable florescence scanner at 39°C for 20 min. The LFS RPA was performed in an incubator block at 39°C for 15 min, under the same condition that the amplifications could be inspected by the naked eyes on the LFS within 5 min. The detection limit of Salmonella spp. DNA using real-time RPA was 1.1 × 101 fg, which was the same with real-time PCR but 10 times higher than that of LFS RPA assay. Moreover, the practicality of discovering Salmonella spp. was validated with artificially contaminated lamb, chicken, and broccoli samples. The analyzing time dropped from 60 min to proximately 5–12 min on the basis of the real-time and LFS RPA assays compared with the real-time PCR assay. Real-time and LFS RPA assays’ results were equally reliable. There was no cross-reactivity with other pathogens in both assays. In addition, the assays had good stability. All of these helped to show that the developed RPA assays were simple, rapid, sensitive, credible, and could be a potential point-of-need (PON) test required mere resources.

Targeting the uvrC gene of M. bovis, an RPA assay based on the fluorescence monitoring (real-time RPA) and an RPA assay combined with a lateral flow strip (LFS RPA) were conducted. It took 20 min for the real-time RPA to finish in a Genie III at 39°C, and 15 min were required to perform the LFS RPA in an incubator block at 39°C, followed by the visualization of the products on the lateral flow strip within 5 min. Both of the two assays showed high specificity for M. bovis without any cross-reaction with the other tested pathogens. With the standard recombinant plasmid pMbovis-uvrC serving as a template, both RPA assays had a limit of detcion of 1.0 × 101 copies per reaction, equivalent to that of a real-time PCR assay. In the 65 milk samples collected from cattle with mastitis, the M. bovis genomic DNA was detected in 24 samples by both the real-time RPA and the LFS RPA assays. The developed RPA assays could detect M. bovis in bovine milk in an efficient, convenient, and credible manner as attractive and promising tools, and the assays would be helpful in the rapid response to M. bovis infection causing bovine mastitis.

Haemophilus parasuis is the etiological agent of Glässer's disease in swine, which associates with severe economic losses in the swine industry worldwide. A real‐time recombinase polymerase amplification assay (real‐time RPA) was developed for direct and rapid detection of H. parasuis basing on the translation‐initiation factor IF2 (infB) gene. The assay was performed successfully at 39°C for 20 min in Genie III, which is portable and chargeable by battery. The developed assay was highly specific for H. parasuis, and the limit of detection of the assay was 6.0 × 103 fg of H. parasuis genomic DNA, which was the same as that of a real‐time PCR developed previously. The assay was further evaluated on 68 pig tissue samples, and 18 (26.5%), 20 (29.4%), and 8 (11.8%) samples were positive for H. parasuis by the real‐time RPA, real‐time PCR and bacterial isolation, respectively. With the bacteria isolation as the reference method, the real‐time RPA showed a diagnostic specificity of 83.33% and a diagnostic sensitivity of 100%. The above data demonstrated the well‐potentiality and usefulness of the developed real‐time RPA assay in reliable diagnosis of swine Glässer's disease, especially in resource limited settings.

To design primers and probes for Aspergillus transcript spacer ITS1, and to use Real-time fluorescent recombinase polymerase amplification (Real-time RPA) technology to establish a rapid, accurate, and economical method for detection and identification of common clinical Aspergillus. The established Real-time fluorescent recombinase polymerase amplification system was used to amplify the DNA extracted from standard strains and clinical specimens to verify the performance of the method. In this study, we designed primers and probes for the Aspergillus transcript spacer ITS1 using RPA kit (fluorescent type) to establish a Real-time RPA amplification system, and detected four clinically common Aspergillus species within 15 minutes; The specific test results show that the reaction system only has specific amplification for Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus terrestris and Aspergillus niger, while there was no amplification for other bacteria and fungi; The sensitivity test showed that the detection limit was 10-3 ng/滋L. 12 samples of Aspergillus in clinical validation test had high amplification effect. The Real-time RPA method established in this study can detect Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus terreus, Aspergillus niger and other common clinical aspergillus quickly, specifically and sensitively. It provides a new idea for rapid and field detection of Aspergillus. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Mycoplasmal pneumonia is an important infectious disease that threatens sheep and goat production worldwide, and Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae is one of major etiological agent causing mycoplasmal pneumonia. Recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) is an isothermal nucleic acid amplification technique, and RPA-based diagnostic assays have been described for the detection of different types of pathogens. Results: The RPA assays using real-time fluorescence detection (real-time RPA) and lateral flow strip detection (LFS RPA) were developed to detect M. ovipneumoniae targeting a conserved region of the 16S rRNA gene. Real-time RPA was performed in a portable florescence scanner at 39 °C for 20 min. LFS RPA was performed in a portable metal bath incubator at 39 °C for 15 min, and the amplicons were visualized with the naked eyes within 5 min on the lateral flow strip. Both assays were highly specific for M. ovipneumoniae, as there were no cross-reactions with other microorganisms tested, especially the pathogens involved in respiratory complex and other mycoplasmas frequently identified in ruminants. The limit of detection of LFS RPA assay was 1.0 × 10
1 copies per reaction using a recombinant plasmid containing target gene as template, which is 10 times lower than the limit of detection of the real-time RPA and real-time PCR assays. The RPA assays were further validated on 111 clinical sheep nasal swab and fresh lung samples, and M. ovipneumoniae DNA was detected in 29 samples in the real-time RPA, 31 samples in the LFS RPA and 32 samples in the real-time PCR assay. Compared to real-time PCR, the real-time RPA and LFS RPA showed diagnostic specificity of 100 and 98.73%, diagnostic sensitivity of 90.63 and 93.75%, and a kappa coefficient of 0.932 and 0.934, respectively. Conclusions: The developed real-time RPA and LFS RPA assays provide the attractive and promising tools for rapid, convenient and reliable detection of M. ovipneumoniae in sheep, especially in resource-limited settings. However, the effectiveness of the developed RPA assays in the detection of M. ovipneumoniae in goats needs to be further validated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

The amplification of specific nucleic acid sequences with high specificity and sensitivity is an essential technique for pathogen detection. Recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) is a rapid isothermal amplification method. Here, we demonstrate the end-point and real-time detection of Spongospora subterranea f. sp. subterranea (Sss) using RPA and potato mop-top virus (PMTV) using reverse transcription (RT)-RPA. Oligonucleotide primers were designed for amplification that target the internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) region and the coat protein readthrough (CP-RT) domain for the detection of Sss and PMTV, respectively. Our data showed that real-time RPA can detect 100 of Sss sporosori per gram of soil, while real-time RT-RPA could detect in ~1 ng total RNA of the PMTV-infected tuber. For Sss detection, the R2 value for real-time RPA and real-time PCR was 98.0% by linear regression analysis in the concentration range of 100–34,000 sporosori per gram of soil. The developed RPA assay here may provide a useful alternative tool for the rapid, simple and reliable detection of Sss and PMTV in diagnostic laboratories and in-field testing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Both assays were specific for M. hyopneumoniae , as there were no cross-reactions with other pathogens tested. The limit of detection of both RPA assay was 5.0 × 102 fg of M. hyopneumoniae DNA, which was the same as that of a real-time PCR assay. Of the 146 clinical samples, M. hyopneumoniae DNA was identified in 41, 42, and 47 samples by the real-time RPA, LFS RPA and real-time PCR, respectively. Compared to real-time PCR, the real-time RPA and LFS RPA assays showed diagnostic specificity of 100%, a diagnostic sensitivity of 87.23% and 89.36%, and a kappa value of 0.903 and 0.909, respectively. These results have demonstrated that the developed RPA assays are suitable for rapid and reliable detection of M. hyopneumoniae in diagnostic laboratory and at point-of-need facility. Highlights • Rapid and visual molecular assays for rapid detection of M. hyopneumoniae were developed. • Assays are based on RPA and use of a lateral flow strip. • Assays analytical sensitivity and specificity was similar to a real-time RT-PCR. • Assays were demonstrated to be convenient, rapid and reliable for detection of M. hyopneumoniae.

Abstract Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni), a foodborne pathogen, is a major contributor to human bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide and detrimental to public health. It is crucial for initiating appropriate outbreak control strategies to rapidly detect C. jejuni. As a novel isothermal gene amplification technique, recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) has been developed for the molecular detection of diverse pathogens. In this study, we developed a real-time RPA assay so as to achieve the rapid and efficient detection of C. jejuni by targeting the hipO gene. The specificity and senstivity of real-time RPA was validated and the practical applicability of the method for the detection of C. jejuni in artificially contaminated milk and chicken breast samples was proved by comparing their reaction time, sensitivity, and efficacy with those of real-time PCR and culture-based methods. Based on the real-time RPA assay, analysis time was reduced to approximately 13 mins from 60 mins and the results were as reliable as those of the real-time PCR assay. Taken together, in terms of the detection of C. jejuni , the real-time RPA method was simple, rapid, sensitive, and reliable. Highlights • An exo real-time RPA method was developed for the detection of Campylobacter jejuni. • Real-time RPA showed high sensitivity and specificity in Campylobacter jejuni detection. • Real-time RPA was shown to be a simple, rapid and reliable method for Campylobacter jejuni detection.

- Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is of great importance and is a leading cause of food poisoning, which is a public health concern in terms of the frequency and seriousness of the disease. In the present study, RPA and real-time RPA assays were developed and validated to detect S. aureus with high sensitivity and specificity by targeting the nuc gene for the first time. The analytical sensitivity of real-time RPA was 10
2 copies/reaction, which was higher than the sensitivity of the real-time PCR method. The analysis time was reduced to 10 min, but this method was as reliable as real-time PCR. Furthermore, the potential use of RPA to detect S. aureus was validated with five different artificially contaminated foods. In conclusion, the RPA and real-time RPA assays developed here, similar to real-time PCR, are rapid and simple and exhibit with high sensitivity and specificity. These assays serve as efficient tools for the detection of S. aureus in less advanced laboratories and are suitable for point-of-care detection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA), an isothermal amplification technology, has been developed as an alternative to PCR in pathogen detection. A real-time RPA assay (rt-RPA) was developed to detect the porcine parvovirus (PPV) using primers and exo probe specific for the VP2 gene. The amplification was performed at 39 °C for 20 min. There was no cross-reaction with other pathogens tested. Using the recombinant plasmid pPPV-VP2 as template, the analytical sensitivity was 103 copies. The assay performance was evaluated by testing 115 field samples by rt-RPA and a real-time PCR assay. The diagnostic agreement between assays was 100%, and PPV DNA was detected in 94 samples. The R 2 value of rt-RPA and real-time PCR was 0.909 by linear regression analysis. The developed rt-RPA assay provides a useful alternative tool for rapid, simple and reliable detection of PPV in diagnostic laboratories and at point-of-care, especially in remote and rural areas.

This study aimed to detetct Mycoplasma bovis (M. bovis) in bovine milk quickly and directly by developing and validating isothermal recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) assays. Targeting the uvrC gene of M. bovis, an RPA assay based on the fluorescence monitoring (real-time RPA) and an RPA assay combined with a lateral flow strip (LFS RPA) were conducted. It took 20 min for the real-time RPA to finish in a Genie III at 39°C, and 15 min were required to perform the LFS RPA in an incubator block at 39°C, followed by the visualization of the products on the lateral flow strip within 5 min. Both of the two assays showed high specificity for M. bovis without any cross-reaction with the other tested pathogens. With the standard recombinant plasmid pMbovis-uvrC serving as a template, both RPA assays had a limit of detcion of 1.0 × 101 copies per reaction, equivalent to that of a real-time PCR assay. In the 65 milk samples collected from cattle with mastitis, the M. bovis genomic DNA was detected in 24 samples by both the real-time RPA and the LFS RPA assays. The developed RPA assays could detect M. bovis in bovine milk in an efficient, convenient, and credible manner as attractive and promising tools, and the assays would be helpful in the rapid response to M. bovis infection causing bovine mastitis.

Marek's disease (MD) is one of the most devastating diseases of poultry. It's caused by the highly infectious alphaherpesvirus MD virus serotype 1 (MDV-1). In this study, a rapid and easy-to-use assay based on recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) was developed for MDV detection. Primer-probe sets targeting the highly conserved region of Meq gene were designed and applied to the RPA assay. The assay was carried out on a real-time thermostatic fluorescence detector at 39 °C for 20 min. As revealed by the results, no cross-reactions were found with the Newcastle disease virus (NDV), chicken infectious anemia virus (CAV), infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV), avain influenza virus (AIV), avian leucosis virus (ALV), avian reovirus (ARV), Marek's disease virus serotype 2 (MDV-2) and turkey herpes virus (HVT), indicating appropriate specificity of the assay. Plasmid DNA standards were used to determine the sensitivity of the assay and the detection limit was 102copies/μL. To further evaluate the clinical performance, 94 clinical samples were subjected to the RPA assay and 28 samples were tested MDV positive, suggesting that the real-time RPA assay was sufficient enough for clinical sample detection. Thus, a highly specific and sensitive real-time RPA assay was established and validated as a candidate for MDV diagnosis. Additionally, the portability of real-time RPA assay makes it suitable to be potentially applied in clinical diagnosis in the field, especially in resource-limited settings. • A real-time RPA assay was developed and evaluated for rapid detection of MDV. • The real-time RPA assay was highly specific and sensitive. • The real-time RPA assay was an alternative to PCR methods. • The real-time RPA assay had the potential of use in field.

Background: Vibrio parahaemolyticus (V. parahaemolyticus) is a leading cause of food poisoning and is of great importance to public health due to the frequency and seriousness of the diseases. The simple, timely and efficient detection of this pathogen is a major concern worldwide. In this study, we established a simple and rapid method based on recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) for the determination of V. parahaemolyticus. According to the gyrB gene sequences of V. parahaemolyticus available in GenBank, specific primers and an exo probe were designed for establishing real-time recombinase polymerase amplification (real-time RPA). Results: The real-time RPA reaction was performed successfully at 38 °C, and results were obtained within 20 min. The method only detected V. parahaemolyticus and did not show cross-reaction with other bacteria, exhibiting a high level of specificity. The study showed that the detection limit (LOD) of real-time RPA was 1.02 × 10
2 copies/reaction. For artificially contaminated samples with different bacteria concentrations, V. parahaemolyticus could be detected within 5–12 min by real-time RPA in oyster sauce, codfish and sleeve-fish at concentrations as low as 4 CFU/25 g, 1 CFU/25 g and 7 CFU/25 g, respectively, after enrichment for 6 h, but were detected in a minimum of 35 min by real-time PCR (Ct values between 27 and 32). Conclusion: This study describes a simple, rapid, and reliable method for the detection of V. parahaemolyticus, which could potentially be applied in the research laboratory and disease diagnosis.
