Development of Rapid and Specific Detection for the Human Aichivirus A Using the Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification from Water Samples.

ABSTRACT: Human Aichivirus A (AiV-A) is classified as a Kobuvirus, group IV positive sense single strand RNA viruses. The first outbreak of AiV-A was reported from Aichi Prefecture, Japan in 1989. AiV-A exists not only among clinical patients, such as diarrhea, but also in a variety of water environments, as its occurrence is reported across a wide geographical range, from developing to advanced countries. For diagnose of AiV-A from water samples, mostly polymerase chain reaction (PCR) system have been developed. However, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay has not been applied. In this study, developed a LAMP method to achieve a rapid, specific and highly sensitive detection of AiV-A. The method developed in this study is aimed specifically at AiV-A. Through a specific and non-specific selection and sensitivity test process for the five prepared LAMP primer sets, one primer set and optimum reaction temperature were selected. A newly developed method was more rapid (approximately 2-8 h), specific and equivalent detection of AiV-A than with the conventional PCRs. In addition, confirm system of positive LAMP reaction was developed by using the restriction enzyme Aci I and Hae III. For evaluation and verification of developing LAMP assay, a was applied to twenty cDNA from groundwater samples. This study proved rapid and specific diagnosis of AiV-A from water samples, and it is also demanded to be applicable to other environmental, clinical and food samples.

Project description:Background:Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP) is a newly emerged microsporidian parasite that causes retarded shrimp growth in many countries. But there are no effective approaches to control this disease to date. The EHP could be an immune risk factor for increased dissemination of other diseases. Further, EHP infection involves the absence of obvious clinical signs and it is difficult to identify the pathogen through visual examination, increasing the risk of disease dissemination. It is urgent and necessary to develop a specific, rapid and sensitive EHP-infected shrimp diagnostic method to detect this parasite. In the present study, we developed and evaluated a rapid real-time loop-mediated isothermal amplification (real-time LAMP) for detection of EHP. Methods:A rapid and efficient real-time LAMP method for the detection of EHP has been developed. Newly emerged EHP pathogens in China were collected and used as the sample, and three sets of specificity and sensitivity primers were designed. Three other aquatic pathogens were used as templates to test the specificity of the real-time LAMP assay. Also, we compared the real-time LAMP with the conventional LAMP by the serial dilutions of EHP DNA and their amplification curves. Application of real-time LAMP was carried out with clinical samples. Results:Positive products were amplified only from EHP, but not from other tested species, EHP was detected from the clinical samples, suggesting a high specificity of this method. The final results of this assay were available within less than 45 min, and the initial amplification curve was observed at about 6 min. We found that the amplification with an exponential of sixfold dilutions of EHP DNA demonstrated a specific positive signal by the real-time LAMP, but not for the LAMP amplicons from the visual inspection. The real-time LAMP amplification curves demonstrated a higher slope than the conventional LAMP. Discussion:In this study, pathogen virulence impacts have been increased in aquaculture and continuous observation was predominantly focused on EHP. The present study confirmed that the real-time LAMP assay is a promising and convenient method for the rapid identification of EHP in less time and cost. Its application greatly aids in the detection, surveillance, and prevention of EHP.
