dc.description.abstract | Porcine Sapelovirus (PSV) A, a member of newly classified genus Sapelovirus, belongs to family Picornaviridae. PSV is non-enveloped virus with icosahedral symmetry with diameter of around ~35nm and the genome is a linear, non-segmented, single-stranded positive-sense RNA. PSV infection in pigs is mostly asymptomatic, but it can also cause severe neurologic, enteric, and respiratory symptoms or reproductive failure. Sapelovirus infections have been reported worldwide in pigs. PSV is considered as the emerging pathogen of porcine species. For the virus detection, isothermal Recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) were developed. The RT-RPA assay was developed using commercially synthesized positive control and primers based on 5´conserved region of PSV genome. The assay was optimized at low and constant temperature of 35°C for 20 minutes with forward primer concentration 20pm, reverse primer concentration 5pm and MgOAc concentration of 14mM. The analytical sensitivity of assay was determined using serial dilutions of positive control. The limit of detection was up to 283 copies using agarose gel electrophoresis. The assay was specific to PSV and no cross reactivity was observed with other related viruses. The assay was validated using field samples followed by visual assay for detection. A total 85 samples were collected from different organized and unorganized piggery farms of Haryana. Out of 85 samples 21 samples were found positive for PSV. The positivity rate of PSV was 24.7%. This is the first report of PSV from Haryana suggesting the virus circulation among pig population. Therefore, the above study concludes that the developed RT-RPA assay is rapid, highly sensitive and specific and works at low, constant temperature and do not require any special instrument. Visual dye-based detection makes the developed RPA assay a potential candidate for pointof-care testing (POCT) | |
