Reverse transcription-enzymatic recombinase amplification coupled with CRISPR-Cas12a for rapid detection and differentiation of PEDV wild-type strains and attenuated vaccine strains.

ABSTRACT: Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is an enteric coronavirus that causes acute watery diarrhea and vomiting in unweaned piglets, and is associated with high mortality, thus causing severe economic losses in the pig industry. Currently, although attenuated vaccines are commonly used in commercial pig farms in China, they do not completely protect against all mutated wild-type strains. Existing nucleic acid assays have high sensitivity and specificity, but the complexity of the assay process and expensive instrumentation hinder disease detection. Here, reverse transcription-enzymatic recombinase amplification (RT-ERA) was combined with the CRISPR-Cas12a system to develop a rapid diagnostic method to distinguish PEDV wild-type strains from attenuated vaccine strains. The protocol used crR
