Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of virus detection technology, and in particular relates to a primer, method and application for multiplex PCR detection of sheep disease virus. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the livestock industry and the continuous expansion of breeding scale, the pressure of disease prevention and control is also increasing, especially for viral diseases in sheep, which pose a serious threat to the development of sheep farming due to their rapid spread and high pathogenicity. Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), sheep pox, and goat pox are diseases caused by FMD virus, pox virus, and goat pox virus, respectively. Introduced breeds, immunization failure, and new variant virus strains are common factors contributing to infection with these viruses. Because these three diseases share similar clinical characteristics, and mixed infections are common, clinical diagnosis is difficult. Therefore, establishing rapid differential diagnostic methods is of great significance for the prevention and control of these three sheep diseases.

[0003] Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), contagious ecthyma (CE), and goatpox (GTP) share similar clinical symptoms. FMD is an acute, febrile, highly contagious disease caused by the foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), commonly known as "mouth sores." Domestic and wild cloven-hoofed animals are susceptible to this virus. Clinically, it manifests as vesicles on hairless areas such as the lips, tongue, inner surface, gums, cheek mucosa, lower extremities, and udder. These vesicles rupture, forming red ulcers. In severe cases, the hoof shell may detach, leading to lameness. Contagious ecthyma is a contagious, epitheliotropic disease caused by the orfvirus (ORFV), transmitted through direct contact. Goats, sheep, deer, camels, and other ruminants are susceptible to this disease. Clinical manifestations include pustules, vesicles, and crusts on the skin around the mouth, tongue, lips, udder, and muzzle. Goatpox is an acute, febrile, and contagious disease of sheep caused by goatpox virus (GTPV). Clinical manifestations include fever, conjunctivitis, rhinitis, excessive salivation, and vesicular and papular lesions on the skin and mucous membranes. With the rapid development of sheep farming, the types of sheep diseases have increased and become more difficult to control. Furthermore, mixed infections of multiple viruses exist; for example, Yan Xinmin et al. reported cases in my country of sheep co-infected with GTPV, ORFV, and contagious caprine pleuropneumonia.

[0004] Currently, there are two main types of detection methods for the aforementioned viruses. Serological methods include indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), immunofluorescence assay, immunoenzyme agar diffusion assay, virus neutralization assay, and agar diffusion assay. Molecular biological methods include PCR technology and nucleic acid probe technology. Because these methods involve complex experimental procedures, high costs, and long processing times, establishing a rapid, efficient, and low-cost detection method is crucial for quickly identifying the type of virus infection in production practice and taking timely countermeasures. Multiplex PCR (Multiplex polymerase chain reaction, MPCR) refers to the simultaneous amplification of two or more target genes in a single reaction, and it has been widely studied due to its low cost, high efficiency, and high throughput. This technology is currently widely used in disease diagnosis and scientific research. However, there are currently no reports of using multiplex PCR to simultaneously detect three viruses: sheep foot-and-mouth disease virus, sheep pox virus, and goat pox virus.

[0005] Based on the above analysis, the problems and shortcomings of the existing technology are as follows: there are no reports on the existing technology of systematic multiplex PCR detection methods for FMDV, ORFV and GTPV pathogens at the same time. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides a primer, method, and application for multiplex PCR detection of sheep disease viruses, particularly a primer, method, and application for multiplex PCR detection of sheep foot-and-mouth disease virus, sheep stomatitis virus, and goat pox virus.

[0007] This invention is achieved as follows: a multiplex PCR detection primer pair for sheep disease viruses. The primer FMDV-F for sheep foot-and-mouth disease virus has the base sequence SEQ ID NO: 1, and the primer FMDV-R has the base sequence SEQ ID NO: 2; the primer ORFV-F for sheep pox virus has the base sequence SEQ ID NO: 3, and the primer ORFV-R has the base sequence SEQ ID NO: 4; the primer GTPV-F for goat pox virus has the base sequence SEQ ID NO: 5, and the primer GTPV-R has the base sequence SEQ ID NO: 6.

[0008] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for detecting sheep disease virus using multiplex PCR primers, the method comprising the following steps:

[0009] Step 1: Nucleic acid extraction and cDNA reverse transcription synthesis;

[0010] Step two: Optimize the conditions for multiplex PCR reactions;

[0011] Step 3: Perform multiplex PCR specificity and sensitivity tests;

[0012] Step four: Perform clinical sample testing using optimal PCR reaction conditions.

[0013] Furthermore, in step one, viral RNA or DNA is extracted from the tissue sample to be tested, the RNA is reverse transcribed into cDNA, and the viral DNA and cDNA are amplified using multiplex PCR detection primers.

[0014] Collect scabs, vesicle skin, vesicle fluid, or papule tissue from diseased sheep. Mix the tissue with physiological saline at a ratio of 1:2 to homogenize, and extract total nucleic acid using a centrifuged column-type viral DNA / RNA extraction kit.

[0015] Furthermore, in step one, the nucleic acid extraction of both the viral sample and the clinical sample to be tested was performed using a DNA / RNA extraction kit. The DNA sample was stored at -20°C. The RNA sample was reverse transcribed, and the obtained cDNA product was stored at -20°C, while the remaining RNA was stored at -80°C.

[0016] Furthermore, in step one, a 40 μL reverse transcription reaction system was used to reverse transcribe RNA using the HiScript cDNA first-strand synthesis kit; wherein, 4 μL of RNA template, 2 μL of random primers, 20 μL of 2×RT Mix, 4 μL of HiScript II Enzyme Mix, and RNase-free ddH2O were added to a total volume of 40 μL; the reverse transcription reaction program was: 25℃ for 5 min, 50℃ for 15 min, and 85℃ for 2 min.

[0017] Furthermore, in step two, the multiplex PCR reaction is performed in a 25 μL system; including 12.5 μL of 2×AceTaqMaster Mix; 0.5 μL each of FMDV-F and FMDV-R, with a concentration of 10 μmol / L; 1 μL each of ORFV-F and ORFV-R, with a concentration of 10 μmol / L; 0.5 μL each of GTPV-F and GTPV-R, with a concentration of 10 μmol / L; 1.5 μL of DNA / cDNA template; and sterile ddH2O to bring the total volume to 25 μL; the solute concentration in the 2×AceTaq Master Mix is ​​10 μmol / L.

[0018] Furthermore, in step two, the conditions for the multiplex PCR amplification reaction are as follows: the total volume of the reaction system is 25 μL; 1.5 μL each of the extracted tissue viral DNA or cDNA is added to the multiplex PCR reaction system, and sterile ddH2O is used to make up to a total volume of 25 μL; the multiplex PCR amplification reaction program is as follows: 95℃ for 5 min; 95℃ for 10 s, 57℃ for 30 s, 72℃ for 40 s, for a total of 30 cycles; 72℃ for 8 min.

[0019] Furthermore, in step three, the established optimal conditions for multiplex PCR reaction were used, with cDNA or DNA from samples of FMDV, ORFV, GTPV, bluetongue virus, peste des petits ruminants virus, Clostridium perfringens, Mycobacterium tuberculosis of sheep, and Mycoplasma caprineis as templates, and sterile water as a negative control, to detect the specificity of multiplex PCR.

[0020] Under the determined optimal PCR reaction conditions, the DNA or cDNA of the three viruses were measured and diluted 10-fold, and the PCR sensitivity was tested using the diluted DNA or cDNA of the three viruses as templates.

[0021] Another object of the present invention is to provide the application of the aforementioned sheep disease virus multiplex PCR detection primers in the preparation of single or mixed infection detection kits for sheep foot-and-mouth disease virus, sheep stomatitis virus and goatpox virus.

[0022] Furthermore, by performing agarose gel electrophoresis on the multiplex PCR products, the presence of a target band of the expected size on the electrophoresis pattern was observed to determine whether the tested sample was a single or mixed infection; among them, the expected band size for sheep foot-and-mouth disease virus was 544 bp, the expected band size for sheep pox virus was 361 bp, and the expected band size for goatpox virus was 222 bp.

[0023] Based on the above technical solutions and the technical problems solved, the advantages and positive effects of the technical solution to be protected by this invention are as follows:

[0024] First, addressing the technical problems existing in the prior art and the difficulty of solving them, this paper closely analyzes, in conjunction with the technical solution to be protected by this invention and the results and data obtained during the research and development process, how the technical solution of this invention solves the technical problems, and the inventive technical effects brought about by solving these problems. The specific description is as follows:

[0025] This invention provides specific primers, methods, and applications for multiplex PCR detection of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), sheep poxvirus, and goatpox virus (WPV), enabling the simultaneous detection of these three pathogens. By optimizing multiplex PCR, this invention determines the optimal reaction system (primer and template ratios) and the optimal reaction procedure (annealing temperature). This invention can accurately detect single or mixed infections of FMDV, WPV, and WPV, playing a crucial role in epidemiological investigations and disease control.

[0026] Second, considering the technical solution as a whole or from a product perspective, the technical effects and advantages of the technical solution to be protected by this invention are specifically described as follows:

[0027] This invention, through multiple experimental verifications, establishes for the first time a multiplex PCR method capable of simultaneously detecting FMDV, ORFV, and GTPV. It mainly involves primer pairs for multiplex PCR detection of sheep foot-and-mouth disease virus, sheep pox virus, and goat pox virus, as well as detection methods using primer pairs and applications of primers. This invention provides technical support for rapid diagnosis and epidemiological investigation of these three viruses.

[0028] Third, as supplementary evidence of the inventive step of the claims of this invention, it is also reflected in the following important aspects:

[0029] The technical solution of this invention fills a technological gap in the industry both domestically and internationally:

[0030] Qin Min et al. established multiplex PCR detection methods for bluetongue disease, FMDV, peste des petits ruminants (PPR), and vesicular stomatitis. He Yapeng et al. established multiplex RT-PCR methods involving FMDV, bluetongue disease, and PPR, both of which have shown good results in clinical applications. Because sheep pox is prevalent in Northwest China, He Yapeng et al. established multiplex PCR detection methods for sheep pox virus, GTPV, and ORFV. Although previous studies on multiplex PCR have all involved the analytes of this invention, FMDV, ORFV, and GTPV, there are currently no reports on systematic multiplex PCR detection methods for FMDV, ORFV, and GTPV pathogens simultaneously.
