Establishment of hydrolysis probe system real-time PCR assay for rapid detection of canine circovirus.

ABSTRACT: In the study, we established a hydrolysis probe-based real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay to rapidly detect Canine circovirus (CanineCV) DNA in faecal samples. We designed a pair of specific primers and one probe targeting Rep in CanineCV, and sensitivity, specificity, and repeatability tests were performed to evaluate the efficacy of the assay. The assay showed high sensitivity and a minimum detection limit of 8.42 × 10¹ copies/μL, which is 1000-fold more sensitive compared to traditional PCR. The method was also highly specific, without cross-reaction with other common canine viruses. Moreover, the assay showed high repeatability, and the mean intra-assay and inter-assay coefficients of variation were 0.26 and 0.36%, respectively. The results of the detection of clinical samples showed that the positive detection rate of CanineCV was 14.04% (8/57). Notably, 8% of clinical samples were co-infected with other canine pathogens. In conclusion, the establishment of a hydrolysis probe-based real-time PCR method provides a fast, sensitive, specific, reliable, and repeatable method for CanineCV detection.

Project description:BackgroundAnisakiasis is a fish-borne zoonosis caused by Anisakis spp. larvae. One challenging issue in the diagnosis of anisakiasis is the molecular detection of the etiological agent even at very low quantity, such as in gastric or intestinal biopsy and granulomas. Aims of this study were: 1) to identify three new cases of invasive anisakiasis, by a species-specific Real-time PCR probe assay; 2) to detect immune response of the patients against the pathogen.MethodsParasite DNA was extracted from parasites removed in the three patients. The identification of larvae removed at gastric and intestinal level from two patients was first obtained by sequence analysis of mtDNA cox2 and EF1 α-1 of nDNA genes. This was not possible in the third patient, because of the very low DNA quantity obtained from a single one histological section of a surgically removed granuloma. Real-time PCR species-specific hydrolysis probe system, based on mtDNA cox2 gene, was performed on parasites tissue of the three cases. IgE, IgG4 and IgG immune response against antigens A. pegreffii by Immunoblotting assay was also studied.ResultsAccording to the mtDNA cox2 and the EF1 α - 1 nDNA sequence analysis, the larvae from stomach and intestine of two patients were assigned to A. pegreffii. The Real-time PCR primers/probe system, showed a fluorescent signal at 510 nm for A. pegreffii, in all the three cases. In Immunoblotting assay, patient CC1 showed IgE, IgG4 reactivity against Ani s 13-like and Ani s 7-like; patient CC2 revealed only IgG reactivity against Ani s 13-like and Ani s 7-like; while, the third patient showed IgE and IgG reactivity against Ani s 13-like, Ani s 7-like and Ani s 1-like.ConclusionThe Real-time PCR assay, a more sensitive method than direct DNA sequencing for the accurate and rapid identification of etiological agent of human anisakiasis, was successfully assessed for the first time. The study also highlights the importance to use both molecular and immunological tools in the diagnosis of human anisakiasis, in order to increase our knowledge about the pathological findings and immune response related to the infection by zoonotic species of the genus Anisakis.
