Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of environmental monitoring and biological detection, and particularly relates to a method for synchronous detection of Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Blastocystis in complex water bodies and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Blastocystis are important zoonotic opportunistic pathogenic intestinal protozoa, which parasitize in the intestinal epithelial cells of humans and various animals. More than 90% of microsporidiosis is caused by Enterocytozoon bieneusi. After human infection with Enterocytozoon bieneusi, different symptoms such as asymptomatic, chronic diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, nausea, malnutrition, etc. are presented due to individual differences. Infection of low immune human groups can cause fatal diarrhea. After human infection with Blastocystis, the symptoms and severity presented are related to the individual immunity. For normal immune human groups, it may only show self-limiting diarrhea or no obvious symptoms, while for low immune human groups (such as HIV patients, transplant patients and dialysis patients), it may cause clinical syndromes mainly with diarrhea. Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Blastocystis are widely distributed in the environment, and can be transmitted through water and food, etc. to cause outbreak of epidemic, which seriously endangers public health safety.

[0003] Since the individual of Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Blastocystis is very small, after fluorescent staining marking, there is a high risk of missed detection by microscopy, and the fuel is easily decomposed by light, which is not conducive to long-term preservation of the sample. Although the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has high specificity, sensitivity, stability and repeatability, the detection cost of this method is high, and it is not suitable for large-scale sample detection. PCR technology has high specificity and high sensitivity, and has been widely used in the detection of various pathogenic organisms. However, the PCR method in the prior art still has problems such as incomplete removal of interference of complex water samples or missed detection, low detection efficiency and sensitivity, and inability to detect and identify genotypes / subtypes and conduct environmental risk assessment.

[0004] For example, the Chinese invention patent application document CN 111269999 A discloses a universal primer, kit, test strip and application for simultaneously detecting four kinds of human microsporidia, which constructs a PCR reaction system containing sample DNA and universal primer, performs gel electrophoresis after PCR reaction, and judges whether the microsporidia are contained according to the electrophoresis result, thereby improving the specificity of PCR detection, but the amplification specific primer and reaction system cannot be directly applied to the synchronous detection of B. intestinalis and blastocystis in complex water samples, and the detection efficiency is low, the sensitivity is not high, and the genotype / new genotype of the sample cannot be identified, which cannot meet the efficient detection of complex water samples and further expand the application. In addition, the prior art also has the problems of false positive results due to poor primer specificity, indirectly leading to increased workload of sequencing and verification, detection cost waste, cost increase and the like.

[0005] Therefore, the prior art cannot meet the needs of large-scale, wide-range, low-cost environmental monitoring, public health assessment and clinical diagnosis. SUMMARY

[0006] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a synchronous detection method and application of B. intestinalis and blastocystis in complex water bodies, which is based on specially designed specific primers, and through the screening of specific primers of B. intestinalis and blastocystis in complex water bodies and the optimization of PCR reaction system, the specificity of the primers is optimized, false positives are avoided, the detection cost is reduced, the genotype / new genotype is identified, and the risk of zoonosis and the potential harm to public health are evaluated according to phylogenetic and genetic evolution analysis, which can meet the needs of large-scale, wide-range, low-cost environmental monitoring, public health assessment and clinical diagnosis.

[0007] The technical scheme provided by the present application to solve the above problems is:

[0008] A synchronous detection method of B. intestinalis and blastocystis in complex water bodies, characterized in that it comprises the following steps:

[0009] S1: Pretreatment of water sample

[0010] The method of vacuum filtration, acetone dissolution filter membrane, addition of PBS buffer solution, centrifugation and collection of precipitate is used to enrich microorganisms in complex water samples, and remove impurities such as humic acid, metal ions, proteins, polysaccharides, salts and the like that may interfere with the PCR detection result;

[0011] S2: Nucleic acid extraction

[0012] The precipitate is vortexed with buffer solution until fully mixed, proteinase is added and centrifuged to obtain supernatant, and the whole genome DNA of the sample is extracted by using a nucleic acid extraction kit.

[0013] S3: PCR detection

[0014] The ITS gene site-specific primer is used for PCR amplification of Enterocytozoon bienei, and the 500bp SSUrRNA gene site-specific primer is used for PCR amplification of Blastocystis, and the positive product is sequenced in two directions to qualitatively determine whether Enterocytozoon bienei and Blastocystis exist in the water sample.

[0015] S4: Genotype / subtype identification: The positive product of the two-worm PCR amplification is sequenced in two directions, and BLAST comparison is performed with the known sequences in the GenBank database to further determine whether it is Enterocytozoon bienei and Blastocystis, identify the genotype / subtype, and find whether there is a new genotype.

[0016] S5: Environmental risk assessment

[0017] The genotype, phylogeny and genetic evolution of Enterocytozoon bienei and Blastocystis in the sample are analyzed to assess whether the two worms have the risk of spreading in humans, animals and the environment and the potential harm to public health.

[0018] The application of the synchronous detection method of Enterocytozoon bienei and Blastocystis in the complex water body is applied to the assessment of whether the two worms have the risk of spreading in humans, animals and the environment and the potential harm to public health according to the phylogeny and genetic evolution analysis of Enterocytozoon bienei and Blastocystis; it can also be applied to the rapid identification of Enterocytozoon bienei and Blastocystis, molecular diagnosis of related intestinal infectious diseases, tracing and prevention and control.

[0019] The synchronous detection method of Enterocytozoon bienei and Blastocystis in the complex water body provided by the application and the application have at least the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

The PCR method provided by the application has high specificity and sensitivity, can completely avoid false positives, is not dependent on human subjective factors, has relatively low cost, can simultaneously process samples in batches, and can accurately identify the genotype / new genotype of Enterocytozoon bienei and Blastocystis on the basis of evaluating the zoonotic risk of the two intestinal protozoa, and can provide scientific basis for the tracing of the two intestinal protozoa, rapid diagnosis and effective prevention and control of related intestinal infectious diseases, and is a research hotspot in the field at present.

[0021] 2. The application provides a molecular biology synchronous detection method for Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Cystoisospora, based on specially designed specific primers, and has high detection efficiency and sensitivity.

[0022] 3. The application further compares the amplification effects of two specific primers of the nested PCR, wherein one is a specially designed and improved primer of the application, and the primer amplification and sequencing effects have obvious advantages; the improved Enterocytozoon bieneusi ITS gene site amplification primer has higher specificity than the original document (avoiding false positives), but has the same specific amplification effect as the 16s rRNA gene site, and the ITS amplification and sequencing results can be directly used for genotyping of Enterocytozoon bieneusi, which is beneficial to the discovery of new genotypes and the tracing and effective prevention and control of pathogens. The improved Cystoisospora 500bp SSU rRNA gene site amplification primer has higher specificity, effectively avoids false positive results, improves the accuracy of sequencing, and reduces the detection cost.

[0023] 4. The application uses a sterile mixed cellulose ester filter membrane with a pore size of 0.22 microns to extract complex water samples, which can capture most microorganisms in the complex water body except viruses; and through the pretreatment steps of acetone dissolution and concentration, the capture efficiency of Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Cystoisospora is improved. The application uses a high-power diaphragm vacuum pump for vacuum filtration, which improves the filtration efficiency of complex water samples.

[0024] 5. The PCR amplification primers used in the application have high specificity and sensitivity, and reduce the missed detection rate of Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Cystoisospora.

[0025] 6. Through actual testing, the detection method and application provided by the application have the advantages of rapid, efficient, convenient batch detection process, accurate detection results, breaking through the limitations of existing similar products and technologies, and meeting the needs of large-scale, wide-range, low-cost popularization and application and popularization.

[0115] The coccidium 500bp SSUrRNA gene site-specific amplification PCR reaction program is as follows:

[0116] 95℃ denaturation for 4min; 95℃ denaturation for 30s, 54℃ annealing for 30s, 72℃ extension for 30s, a total of 35 cycles; finally 72℃ extension for 5min. 4℃∞.

[0117] As shown in Fig. 8, Fig. 8 is the gel electrophoresis diagram of PCR amplification using the coccidium 260bp SSUrRNA gene specific primer (A) and 500bp SSUrRNA gene specific primer (B). The results show that the specificity of PCR amplification using coccidium 260bp SSUrRNA gene site-specific primer is low, and false positive results (No. 2 sample is false positive) are prone to occur. The specificity of PCR detection of 500bp SSUrRNA gene site using the optimized specific primer of the application is stronger, and the accuracy and gene bidirectional sequencing success rate are higher.

[0119] The synchronous detection method of Entamoeba histolytica and coccidium in complex water body provided by the embodiment comprises the following steps:

[0120] S1: Pretreatment of water sample

[0121] Vacuum filtration, acetone dissolution of filter membrane, addition of PBS buffer solution, and centrifugal collection of precipitate are used to enrich microorganisms in complex water samples and remove impurities that may interfere with PCR detection results;

[0122] The filter membrane used for suction filtration is a sterile mixed cellulose ester filter membrane with a diameter of 50 mm and a pore size of 0.22 μm, which is used to enrich microorganisms in complex water samples and intercept all microorganisms in the water body except viruses, and remove interfering impurities; acetone is an analytical pure reagent.

[0123] S2: nucleic acid extraction

[0124] The QIAamp Fast DNA Stool Mini kit was used to extract the whole genome DNA from the sample, and the precipitate was vortexed with buffer until fully mixed. After adding protease, the supernatant was obtained by centrifugation, and the whole genome DNA of the sample was extracted by nucleic acid extraction kit, which included the following steps:

[0125] S2-1: Transfer the thawed precipitate sample to a 2 mL centrifuge tube, add 1 mL of Buffer, vortex until fully mixed. Then, place the sample in a metal bath at 95℃ for 5 min, vortex for 15 s, and centrifuge at 14000 r / min for 1 min at 4℃.

[0126] S2-2: Take 1.5 mL of sterile centrifuge tube, add 15 μL of protease K, 200 μL of centrifuged sample supernatant, and 200 μL of AL buffer in order, vortex for 15 s, and then place the mixed liquid sample in a metal bath at 70℃ for 10 min.

[0127] S2-3: Add 200 μL of anhydrous ethanol, vortex to mix, then add the mixed solution to the filter column, and place the filter column in a new 2 mL collection tube. Label the filter column cover, and centrifuge at 14000 r / min for 1 min at 4℃.

[0128] S2-4: Take out the centrifuged filter column, transfer it to a new 2 mL collection tube, add 500 μL of AW1 buffer, and centrifuge for the second time at 14000 r / min for 1 min at 4℃.

[0129] S2-5: Take out the centrifuged filter column again, place it in a new 2 mL collection tube, add 500 μL of AW2 buffer, and centrifuge for the third time at 14000 r / min for 1 min at 4℃.

[0130] S2-6: Transfer the centrifuged filter column to a new 2 mL collection tube, and centrifuge for the fourth time at 14000 r / min for 3 min at 4℃.

[0131] S2-7: Finally, the filter column was taken out and transferred to a new 1.5 mL centrifuge tube, 200 μL of ATE buffer was directly added, incubated at room temperature for 1 min, centrifuged at 4°C at 14000 r / min for 2 min, and the eluted DNA was stored at -80°C for standby.

[0132] S3: PCR detection

[0133] The ITS gene site-specific primer was used for PCR amplification of Enterocytozoon bienei, and the 500 bp SSUrRNA gene site-specific primer was used for PCR amplification of Blastocystis, and the positive products were bidirectional sequencing to qualitatively determine whether Enterocytozoon bienei and Blastocystis existed in the water sample.

[0134] The specific primer was used for PCR amplification of Enterocytozoon bienei and Blastocystis, and the positive products were bidirectional sequencing to qualitatively determine whether Enterocytozoon bienei and Blastocystis existed in the water sample. The Enterocytozoon bienei positive sample and Blastocystis positive sample identified by gene bidirectional sequencing were used as positive controls, and DEPC water was used as negative control. The PCR reaction system contained: 2 μL of whole genome DNA of the sample as template, 0.5 μL of specific amplification forward primer and reverse primer, 0.5 μL of 5 U / μL Taq DNA polymerase, 2.5 μL of 10×Buffer, 2 μL of 10 mM dNTP, 17 μL of DEPC water, and the total volume was 25 μL. Specifically including the following steps:

[0135] S3-1: PCR detection of Enterocytozoon bienei ITS gene site

[0136] The specific primer for the first round of PCR amplification reaction of Enterocytozoon bienei was: the PCR amplification forward primer was 5'-GGTCATAGGGATGAAGAG-3', the nucleotide sequence was as shown in SEQ ID NO. 1, and the reverse primer was 5'-TTCGAGTTCTTTCGCGCTC-3', the nucleotide sequence was as shown in SEQ ID NO. 2;

[0137] The first round of PCR amplification reaction program was: 95°C pre-denaturation for 3 min; 94°C denaturation for 30 s, 57°C annealing for 30 s, 72°C extension for 40 s, a total of 35 cycles; finally 72°C extension for 10 min;

[0138] The specific primers for the second round of PCR amplification reaction of the intestinal microsporidium of bie's are: the PCR amplification forward primer is 5'-GCTCTGAATATCTATGGCT-3', the nucleotide sequence is shown as SEQ ID NO. 3, and the reverse primer is 5'-ATCGCCGACGGATCCAAGTG-3', the nucleotide sequence is shown as SEQ ID NO. 4;

[0139] The second round of PCR amplification reaction program is: 94℃ pre-denaturation for 3min; 94℃ denaturation for 30s, 55℃ annealing for 30s, 72℃ extension for 40s, a total of 35 cycles; finally 72℃ extension for 10min.

[0140] S3-2: PCR detection of 500bp SSUrRNA gene site of blastocystis

[0141] The specific primers of 500bp SSU rRNA gene site are: the forward primer is 5'-GGAGGTAGTGACAATAAATC-3', the nucleotide sequence is shown as SEQ ID NO. 9, and the reverse primer is 5'-TGCTTTCGCACTTGTTCATC-3', the nucleotide sequence is shown as SEQ ID NO. 10;

[0142] The PCR amplification reaction program of blastocystis is: 95℃ denaturation for 4min; 95℃ denaturation for 30s, 54℃ annealing for 30s, 72℃ extension for 30s, a total of 35 cycles; finally 72℃ extension for 5min; 4℃∞.

[0143] Among them, the screening of PCR amplification specific primers of intestinal microsporidium of bie's

[0144] Using the identified 4 intestinal microsporidium of bie's positive animal feces nucleic acid samples and 4 intestinal microsporidium of bie's negative animal feces nucleic acid samples as DNA templates, the specific primers of ITS gene site and 16s rRNA gene site of intestinal microsporidium of bie's were detected by PCR method respectively, and the gel electrophoresis diagram of the amplification product is shown in Figure 1(A) and Figure 1(B).

[0145] The specific amplification PCR reaction program of ITS gene site of intestinal microsporidium of bie's is as follows:

[0146] First amplification: 95℃ denaturation for 3min; 94℃ denaturation for 30s, 57℃ annealing for 30s, 72℃ extension for 40s, a total of 35 cycles; finally 72℃ extension for 10min; 4℃∞.

[0147] Second amplification: 94℃ denaturation for 3min; 94℃ denaturation for 30s, 55℃ annealing for 30s, 72℃ extension for 40s, a total of 35 cycles; finally 72℃ extension for 10min; 4℃∞.

[0148] The PCR reaction program for site-specific amplification of the 16s rRNA gene of Enterocytozoon bieneusi is as follows:

[0149] The first and second round amplification reaction programs are consistent: denaturation at 95℃ for 5min; denaturation at 95℃ for 45s, annealing at 55℃ for 45s, extension at 72℃ for 1min, a total of 40 cycles; final extension at 72℃ for 10min; 4℃∞.

[0150] The results show that the effect of site-specific PCR amplification of the ITS gene of Enterocytozoon bieneusi is consistent with that of the 16s rRNA gene site-specific PCR amplification, but the amplified product of the ITS gene site can be sequenced to identify the genotype of Enterocytozoon bieneusi. This not only can evaluate the zoonotic risk of Enterocytozoon bieneusi in samples, but also helps to find new genotypes of Enterocytozoon bieneusi.

[0151] S4: Genotype / subtype identification: The positive product of two-worm PCR amplification was subjected to bidirectional sequencing of gene sequence, and BLAST comparison with known sequences in the GenBank database was performed to further determine whether it was Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Blastocystis, identify its genotype / subtype, and find whether there was a new genotype. The specific steps are as follows:

[0152] S4-1: The positive product of two-worm PCR amplification was subjected to bidirectional sequencing of gene sequence, and BLAST comparison with known sequences in the GenBank database was performed to further determine whether it was Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Blastocystis, and identify the genotype of Enterocytozoon bieneusi and the subtype of Blastocystis.

[0153] S4-2: According to the provisions of Enterocytozoon bieneusi genotyping, the sequence of 243 nucleotides in the ITS region of Enterocytozoon bieneusi detected in the sample had one base different from all known sequences in the GenBank database, which was identified as a new genotype of Enterocytozoon bieneusi. According to the identification provisions of new subtypes of Blastocystis, the new subtype should be based on ≥80% of CA bases in the 1800bp SSU nucleotide sequence, which had a difference of ≥4% from all known sequences in the GenBank database and was not in the same branch as all known subtypes in the phylogenetic tree, which was identified as a new subtype of Blastocystis.

[0154] S5: Environmental risk assessment

[0155] The genotype, phylogeny, and genetic evolution of Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Blastocystis in the sample were analyzed to assess the risk of transmission of Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Blastocystis in humans, animals, and the environment and the potential harm to public health, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0156] S5-1: Constructing phylogenetic tree using MEGA 11 software: importing sequence data, selecting Kimura 2-paramete as parameter model, constructing tree by Neighbor-Joining method, setting the number of Bootstrap Replications to 1000 to evaluate the reliability of the tree, and exporting the result as an image.

[0157] S5-2: Retrieving literature database, if the identified Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Cystoisospora in the sample have been reported to be detected in human samples, it indicates that the subtype has the risk of spreading to humans and will pose potential harm to public health.

[0158] The application of the method for synchronous detection of Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Cystoisospora in complex water bodies is based on phylogenetic and genetic evolution analysis of Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Cystoisospora, and is applied to evaluate the risk of transmission of Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Cystoisospora in humans, animals and the environment and the potential harm to public health. Specifically, based on the phylogenetic and genetic evolution analysis of Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Cystoisospora, if the genotype of Enterocytozoon bieneusi identified in the sample belongs to Group 1 zoonotic group in the phylogenetic tree or has been reported to be detected in human samples, it indicates that the genotype has the risk of transmission in humans, animals and the environment and the potential harm to public health; if the subtype of Cystoisospora identified in the sample has been reported to be detected in human samples, it indicates that the subtype has the risk of spreading to humans and will pose potential harm to public health.

[0159] The synchronous detection method can also be applied to the tracing of the two intestinal protozoa Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Cystoisospora, the rapid diagnosis and prevention of enteric infectious diseases.

[0160] Example 9

[0161] Referring to FIG. 1, the method for synchronous detection of Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Cystoisospora in complex water bodies provided by the embodiment of the application is basically the same as that of Example 1, and further specifically includes the following contents:

[0162] The method for synchronous detection of Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Cystoisospora in complex water bodies further includes the following steps:

[0163] (1) Sample pretreatment

[0164] The diaphragm vacuum pump and the sterile mixed cellulose ester filter membrane with a diameter of 50mm and a pore size of 0.22μm are used to vacuum filter the complex water samples (including the complex water samples containing various impurities collected directly in the field) such as surface water, underground water, drinking water, domestic sewage, aquaculture wastewater and urban greening water. The obtained filter membrane is cut into pieces with sterilized surgical scissors and placed into a 10mL sterile centrifuge tube with a cover. Then, the filter membrane is dissolved with acetone. After the filter membrane is completely dissolved, it is mixed well by vortex oscillation at 4℃ and 3000r / min for 10min. The supernatant is carefully discarded. The above operation is repeated for 3 times. Then, the PBS buffer is added into the obtained precipitate, which is mixed well by vortex oscillation at 4℃ and 3000r / min for 10min. The supernatant is carefully discarded, and the precipitate is stored at -80℃ for standby.

[0165] In the example, the 0.22μm sterile mixed cellulose ester filter membrane is used for vacuum filtration, which can intercept all microorganisms in the water body except viruses, and avoid the subsequent missed detection as much as possible in the pretreatment of the water body. At the same time, the substances interfering with the subsequent detection results are filtered out, i.e. the impurities possibly interfering with the PCR detection results are removed.

[0166] The acetone used in the example is AR grade analytical pure reagent, which has high solvent purity and very few impurities, thereby reducing the interference of solvent impurities on the subsequent experiments. The analytical pure acetone has high purity and few impurities, thereby reducing the interference of organic reagent impurities on the later molecular biology detection.

[0167] (2) Nucleic acid extraction

[0168] The QIAamp Fast DNA Stool Mini kit (produced by Qiagen Company, Germany) is used to extract the whole genome DNA in the sample, and the collective steps are as follows:

[0169] a. The thawed precipitate sample is transferred into a 2mL centrifuge tube, 1mL of Buffer is added, and vortex oscillation is performed until the mixture is uniformly mixed. Then, the sample is heated in a metal bath at 95℃ for 5min, and vortex oscillation is performed for 15s. The sample is centrifuged at 4℃ and 14000r / min for 1min.

[0170] b. A 1.5mL sterile centrifuge tube is taken, and 15μL of protease K, 200μL of the centrifuged sample supernatant and 200μL of AL buffer are sequentially added. After vortex oscillation for 15s, the mixed liquid sample is heated in a metal bath at 70℃ for 10min.

[0171] ​c. Add 200 μL of absolute ethanol, vortex to mix, and then add the mixture to the filter column. Place the filter column in a new 2 mL collection tube, label the filter column cap, and centrifuge at 14,000 r / min for 1 min at 4℃;

[0172] d. Take out the centrifuged filter column, transfer it to a new 2 mL collection tube, add 500 μL of AW1 buffer, and centrifuge for the second time at 14,000 r / min for 1 min at 4℃;

[0173] e. Take out the centrifuged filter column again, place it in a new 2 mL collection tube, add 500 μL of AW2 buffer, and centrifuge for the third time at 14,000 r / min for 1 min at 4℃;

[0174] f. Transfer the centrifuged filter column to a new 2 mL collection tube, and centrifuge for the fourth time at 14,000 r / min for 3 min at 4℃;

[0175] g. Finally, take out the filter column, transfer it to a new 1.5 mL centrifuge tube, directly add 200 μL of ATE buffer, incubate at room temperature for 1 min, centrifuge at 14,000 r / min for 2 min at 4℃, elute the DNA, and store it at -80℃ for later use.

[0176] (3) Screening of specific primers

[0177] The core technical problem to be solved by the embodiments of the present application is to simultaneously improve the detection efficiency and sensitivity of the molecular biology synchronous detection method for Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Cystoisospora. The embodiments of the present application are to compare the PCR amplification and gene sequencing results of the ITS gene site and the 16s rRNA gene site of Enterocytozoon bieneusi, compare the PCR amplification and gene sequencing results of the 500bp SSUrRNA gene site and the 260bp SSUrRNA gene site of Cystoisospora, so as to realize the screening of the specific primers for the nested PCR amplification of Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Cystoisospora and the optimization of the reaction system.

[0178] On the basis of the literature primers of Enterocytozoon bieneusi (the original material milk Enterocytozoon bieneusi ITS gene site specificity amplification primer designed by Yeliz Yildirim et al.) and the literature primers of Cystoisospora (the 500bp SSUrRNA gene site specificity amplification primer of human and animal Cystoisospora designed by Mónica Santín et al.), two bases are added to the upper and lower 3' ends, respectively, to improve the specificity of PCR amplification of the two worms.

[0179] The embodiment adopts nested PCR amplification, and a specific primer is newly and uniquely designed, bases at 3' ends of the upstream and downstream primers are increased, so that the specificity, accuracy and detection efficiency of PCR amplification are improved, and the false positive detection rate is reduced.

[0180] The embodiment adopts the nested PCR method to amplify the ITS gene site and the 16s rRNA gene site of the Enterocytozoon bieneusi, and the 500bp SSUrRNA gene site and the 260bp SSU rRNA gene site of the Blastocystis.

[0181] The embodiment compares the specific primer amplification effects of two kinds of nested PCR, one of which is a primer specially designed and improved in the embodiment, and the primer amplification and sequencing effects have obvious advantages; the improved Enterocytozoon bieneusi ITS gene site amplification primer has higher specificity than the original literature, but the sensitivity is consistent with the specific amplification effect of the 16s rRNA gene site, the ITS amplification and sequencing results can be directly used for genotype identification of Enterocytozoon bieneusi, which is conducive to the discovery of new genotypes and the tracing and effective prevention and control of pathogens. The improved 500bp SSUrRNA gene site amplification primer of Blastocystis has higher specificity, effectively avoids false positive results, improves the accuracy and efficiency of sequencing, and thus reduces the detection cost.

[0182] The primers used in the embodiment are synthesized by Shengong Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (China Shanghai), and the sequences are shown in Table 18 (specific primers of Enterocytozoon bieneusi) and Table 19 (specific primers of Blastocystis); the PCR reaction system is shown in Table 20; and the reaction conditions are shown in Table 21 (PCR reaction conditions of Enterocytozoon bieneusi) and Table 22 (PCR reaction conditions of Blastocystis).

[0195] 2 PCR amplification products were positive in 1.5% agarose gel electrophoresis imaging. The PCR amplification products were sequenced in both directions using walking method with PCR primers. The sequencing results were spliced using ClustalX 1.83, the bases were corrected according to the sequencing map, and then the corrected nucleotide sequences were BLAST compared with known sequences in the GenBank database (http: / / www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) to further determine whether they were Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Cystoisospora.

[0196] In this embodiment, 1.5% agarose gel was used; the sample loading amount was 6 μL, including 5 μL of PCR amplification product and 1 μL of 6xLoading Buffer; the electrophoresis instrument was set at a voltage of 130 V for 30 min.

[0197] Please refer to FIG. 1. Four Enterocytozoon bieneusi positive animal fecal nucleic acid samples and four Enterocytozoon bieneusi negative animal fecal nucleic acid samples identified in this embodiment of the application were used as DNA templates. FIG. 1(A) is a gel electrophoresis diagram of PCR amplification using the Enterocytozoon bieneusi ITS gene specific primer of the application; and FIG. 1(B) is a gel electrophoresis diagram of PCR amplification using the Enterocytozoon bieneusi 16s rRNA gene specific primer of the application.

[0198] It can be observed that the PCR amplification and gel electrophoresis results of the Enterocytozoon bieneusi ITS gene specific primer of this embodiment of the application are consistent with the PCR amplification effect of the 16s rRNA gene specific primer, but the sequencing of the ITS gene amplification product can not only determine whether it is Enterocytozoon bieneusi, but also determine the genotype of Enterocytozoon bieneusi, and assess the zoonotic risk of Enterocytozoon bieneusi in the sample according to the genotype, which is also helpful for the discovery of new genotypes of Enterocytozoon bieneusi.

[0199] The amplification efficiency of the 260 bp SSUrRNA gene site of Cystoisospora in this embodiment of the application is higher than that of the 500 bp SSUrRNA gene site, but the gene sequencing success rate of the positive PCR amplification product of the latter is much higher than that of the former.

[0200] (5) Phylogenetic analysis

[0201] The MEGA 11 software was used to construct a phylogenetic evolution tree (Bootstrap-1000) based on the Kimura two-parameter model and the Neighbor-Joining (NJ) method.

Specifically, the Enterocytozoon bieneusi and the coccidium in the complex water body of the rural surface sewage channel are synchronously detected, and the difference lies in that the embodiment further includes the following steps:

[0204] The ITS gene site specific primer of the Enterocytozoon bieneusi and the 500bp SSUrRNA gene site specific primer of the coccidium designed by the application are used to detect the total DNA samples of 20 rural surface sewage channels, wherein 6 of the Enterocytozoon bieneusi PCR positive, the bidirectional sequencing results of the genes are all the Enterocytozoon bieneusi, and the known sequences in the GenBank database are compared and analyzed through BLAST (http: / / www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov), so as to identify the genotypes D (n=3), CHG5 (n=2) and Type IV (n=1) are all known genotypes, and all belong to the zoonotic group Group 1, have the risk of spreading in human, animals and environment, and constitute potential harm to public health; the nucleotide sequences are shown as SEQ ID NO. 13, SEQ ID NO. 14 and SEQ ID NO. 15 respectively.

[0226] In summary, the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application provide a synchronous detection method for detecting Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Blastocystis in complex water bodies. The method focuses on the specific nested PCR amplification of the ITS gene of Enterocytozoon bieneusi and the 500bp SSUrRNA gene of Blastocystis based on specifically designed and optimized primers, agarose gel electrophoresis imaging, bidirectional gene sequencing, and sequence alignment. The presence of Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Blastocystis in the sample is determined based on the electrophoresis results, and the genotypes / new genotypes of Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Blastocystis are identified through gene sequencing. Compared with traditional microscopic observation and other existing detection methods, the above-mentioned method of the present application has higher detection efficiency and sensitivity, can quickly identify the species and genotypes / new genotypes, and has a wide range of applications.
