A quantitative loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay for detecting a novel goose astrovirus.


ABSTRACT: In November 2017, a severe infectious disease that devastated the major goose-producing regions in China was found to be caused by a novel goose astrovirus (N-AstV). The objective of this study was to develop a quantitative loop-mediated isothermal amplification (qLAMP) assay for the rapid diagnosis of N-AstV characterized with gout, hemorrhage, and swellings of the kidneys. A set of 4 specific primers, 2 inner and 2 outer primers, targeting the ORF1a gene of N-AstV were designed for the assay which could be completed within 60 min at 65°C in a water bath or on a real-time PCR instrument for quantitative analysis. The qLAMP assay showed a high sensitivity with a detection limit of 1 × 101 copies of the target DNA/?L. There were no cross-reactions with other viruses, and the reproducibility of the assay was confirmed in intrasensitivity and intersensitivity assay tests with variability ranging from 0.61 to 2.21%. The results indicated that the qLAMP assay for N-AstV was a simple, accurate, rapid, sensitive, and specific, especially useful for field detection.
