RESUMO
Duck circovirus disease (DuCVD), as an immunosuppressive disease, is a threat to the poultry industry. In order to diagnose this disease quickly and accurately, a real-time fluorescence-based recombinase-aided amplification (RF-RAA) method was established to detect duck circovirus (DuCV). The results showed that the quantity of amplification products was positively correlated with the value of fluorescence signal. Obvious detection results can be observed at 41°C after 15 min reaction. This method has good specificity and has no cross reaction with Muscovy duck parvovirus (MDPV), duck enteritis virus (DEV), fowl adenovirus (FAdV), porcine circovirus (PCV), and duck hepatitis A virus (DHAV). The sensitivity test showed that the minimum concentration of template detected by RF-RAA for DuCV was 10° copies/µL, and its sensitivity was 10 times higher than that of real-time fluorescence-based quantitative PCR (RFQ-PCR) and 10,000 times higher than that of polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Fifty-two clinical samples were detected by RF-RAA and RFQ-PCR, and the coincidence rate of the two methods was 98.08%. This method has the advantages of simple operation, good specificity and high sensitivity, and can be used for laboratory detection and clinical diagnosis of DuCV.
