Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of animal pathogen molecular biology, and particularly relates to a duplex fluorescent quantitative primer probe composition, kit and identification method for identifying wild strains and vaccine strains of porcine fever virus. BACKGROUND

[0002] Classical Swine Fever (CSF), also known as classical swine fever, is an acute and highly contagious disease caused by Classical Swine Fever Virus (CSFV). The virus belongs to the Flaviviridae family and the Pestivirus genus, has a single-stranded positive RNA genome of about 12.3 kb, encodes a polyprotein precursor, and is processed into four structural proteins (C, Erns, E1, E2) and eight non-structural proteins (such as NS2, NS3, NS5B, etc.) by host and viral proteases. Among them, the E2 protein is the main immunogenic protein that can induce neutralizing antibodies and is a key target for diagnosis and vaccine development.

[0003] The virus has a wide transmission route and can spread through direct contact, contamination (feed, water, equipment), and vertical transmission (placental infection). The virus is stable in the environment and sensitive to conventional disinfectants (such as sodium hydroxide and formalin). CSF is listed as a mandatory reporting disease by the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH) and is classified as a category I animal disease in China, causing significant economic losses to the global pig industry. CSFV infects only a single host, i.e., pigs (domestic pigs and wild pigs), and is pathogenic to pigs. The incubation period is usually 5-15 days. The clinical manifestations include high fever (up to 42℃), hemorrhagic purpura on the skin, leukopenia, ataxia, abortion, and multiple organ hemorrhage. The disease course is short and the mortality rate is extremely high (up to 100% in acute cases). Due to the high similarity of symptoms to other pig diseases (such as African swine fever and swine erysipelas), clinical diagnosis requires laboratory detection.

[0004] At present, there are various methods for diagnosing swine fever, such as clinical and pathological observation, pathogenic diagnosis, serological diagnosis. Among them, the pathogenic diagnosis includes polymerase chain reaction (PCR), real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (qPCR), isothermal amplification technology (RPA, LAMP). Serological diagnosis includes FAT, ELISA, IFA, IPT, DIA, IBT. Clinical and pathological observation does not need cost, but it is difficult to identify infectious diseases with similar symptoms. The isothermal amplification technology (RPA, LAMP) has high requirements for experimental conditions, and its sensitivity and effectiveness still need a large amount of clinical data verification. ELISA has the advantages of simple operation, low cost and short time, but the detection rate of chronic infection is not high. The serological methods such as IBT and IFA lack commercial kits. It can be seen that PCR and qPCR are the most reliable methods for diagnosing CSFV infection, and qPCR with high sensitivity is regarded as the gold standard.

[0005] Therefore, establishing a new CSFV fluorescent quantitative PCR detection method for detecting the target gene of CSFV is of great importance for early detection and prevention and control of the disease, in-depth study of the pathogenic mechanism of CSFV, and future identification of vaccine strains and wild virus infection.

[0036] The double fluorescent quantitative primer probe composition for identifying wild strains and vaccine strains of porcine fever virus provided by the application is designed for the primers / probes of two genes of 5' UTR and NS3, wherein the 5' UTR gene is the first choice for detecting porcine fever virus, and the gene is a relatively conserved gene of porcine fever virus; the NS3 region exhibits the characteristics of partial relative conservation in the wild strains of porcine fever. Therefore, the double fluorescent quantitative PCR detection method is established to identify the wild strains and vaccine strains of porcine fever virus, can effectively diagnose whether the gene deletion strain is infected, effectively makes up the problem that the wild strain and vaccine strain of porcine fever virus cannot be distinguished when the wild strain and vaccine strain of porcine fever virus are co-infected, and has better accuracy and applicability.

[0037] In addition, the non-structural protein NS3 of porcine fever virus has the activities of serine protease, nucleoside triphosphatase and RNA helicase, is an essential protein for virus replication and proliferation.

[0067] The application also provides a double fluorescence PCR method for identifying and detecting the piglet disease wild strain and vaccine strain using the special primer and probe combination in the following examples, and the method is specifically as follows:

[0068] (1) Extract the total RNA of the sample to be tested and reverse transcribe it into cDNA for standby use;

[0069] (2) The reaction system is prepared as follows: sample DNA 2 μl, primer premix 0.4 μl, probe premix 0.5 μl, PCR amplification solution 10 μl, and ddH2O 7.1 μl;

[0077] When both genes are positive, it can be determined that the porcine pestivirus wild strain is determined. When 5' UTR is positive and NS3 is negative, it can be determined that the porcine pestivirus vaccine strain is determined. If 5' UTR and NS3 are both negative, it is determined that the porcine pestivirus negative sample is determined.
