Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of aquaculture pathogen diagnosis, and particularly relates to a large yellow croaker trypanosoma rapid detection kit based on MIRA technology. Background Art
[0002] From September to October 2023, trypanosomiasis was first discovered in farmed large yellow croaker. The infected individuals showed typical symptoms such as loss of appetite, pale gill filaments, abnormal proliferation of body mucus, enlarged and necrotic spleen, compensatory hyperplasia of the kidneys and body surface ulcers. It can infect large yellow croaker at different stages, including fry (less than 100g), medium fish (between 100g and 400g) and adult fish (greater than 400g); during the peak of the epidemic, the daily mortality rate can reach 1%, and the cumulative mortality rate can be close to 30%-40% of the farmed fish population, causing significant economic losses. There is no effective treatment yet, and it mainly relies on the comprehensive prevention and control strategy of "prevention first". Therefore, accurate diagnosis is of paramount importance.
[0003] Trypanosomes are a group of flagellated protozoa that parasitize the blood of fish. They belong to the class Mastochorata, order Kinetoplastida, family Trypanosomatida, and genus Trypanosoma. Both marine and freshwater fish can be parasitized by trypanosomes. Currently, the etiology and biology of trypanosomiasis in large yellow croaker remain largely unexplained, and its prevalence, transmission pathways, and pathogenic mechanisms remain largely unknown. Effective prevention and control measures are also lacking. To mitigate the threat of the disease, aquaculture operators are generally adopting a shortened breeding cycle and phased farming practices to reduce risks. Due to climatic constraints, large yellow croaker farmed in Zhejiang Province must be transported across regions to Fujian and other places for overwintering. However, the frequent cross-regional migration of large yellow croaker has objectively accelerated the spread of trypanosomes. To curb the spread of the disease, governments at all levels are actively promoting the establishment of quarantine systems for the cross-regional transportation of large yellow croaker and for seedling and seedling production. However, this currently faces a challenge: standardized diagnostic criteria and practical detection methods for fish trypanosomiasis are lacking at the national, local, and industry levels. Therefore, the development of accurate and rapid early diagnosis technology has become the core strategy for the prevention and control of yellow croaker trypanosomiasis.
[0004] Currently, the detection of trypanosomes in large yellow croaker mainly relies on microscopic examination and PCR technology, but the above two methods have obvious limitations. Microscopic examination is prone to missed detection and wrong detection, and PCR detection is complicated, time-consuming (about 3 to 4 hours), and relies on professional equipment and technicians. These limitations make it difficult to meet the needs of rapid on-site screening in grassroots farms. In contrast, colloidal gold immunochromatography technology has become an ideal alternative due to its advantages such as simple operation (no instruments required), rapid detection (results within 20 minutes), low cost and suitability for on-site application. The establishment of trypanosome detection technology based on colloidal gold test strips can not only improve the efficiency of disease monitoring and reduce aquaculture risks, but also provide key technical support for the standardization and intelligence of the healthy aquaculture system of large yellow croaker.
