Abstract:[Background] Porcine parvovirus (PPV) is one of the major pathogens threatening the reproductive health of swine herds, causing tremendous economic losses to the pig farming industry and posing a serious threat to the quality and safety of porcine products. [Objective] To establish a rapid and sensitive detection method for PPV nucleic acid based on recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) combined with lateral flow dipstick (LFD) assay. [Methods] We designed specific primer pairs based on the conserved sequences of the NS1 gene in PPV. Then, we developed a RPA-LFD method for the detection of PPV by optimizing the reaction conditions. [Results] The RPA-LFD method can detect PPV nucleic acid within 20 min at 39 ℃, with a limit of detection of 10 copies/μL. The experimental results showed that only PPV was positively detected by this method, whereas no cross reaction with porcine circovirus type 2, pseudorabies virus, swine fever virus, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus or foot-and-mouth disease virus was observed. In addition, the porcine tissue samples artificially polluted with PPV and the simulated clinical samples were detected by RPA-LFD and traditional PCR, and the results of the two methods were consistent. [Conclusion] The developed RPA-LFD method does not rely on a thermal cycler and it is simple to operate and highly sensitive and specific, providing an effective strategy for the on-site rapid detection of PPV nucleic acid.
