[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of virus nucleic acid detection, and particularly relates to a sequence, a kit and a detection method for detecting nucleic acid of a Nipah virus. BACKGROUND

[0002] The Nipah virus is a single-stranded negative-sense RNA virus of the Henipavirus genus of the Paramyxoviridae family, is an acute and highly lethal zoonotic virus, bats are its natural host, and pigs and humans can also be infected, and the infected person initially shows flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache, and vomiting, which can rapidly develop into severe meningitis, respiratory failure, etc., and the mortality rate is as high as 40% to 75%. There is currently no vaccine and effective treatment for Nipah virus disease.

[0003] Currently, the detection methods for the Nipah virus mainly include serological detection and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection technology. The serological detection method is difficult to detect cases in the early stage of infection, and specific antibodies can be detected only after 5-7 days of onset. Nucleic acid detection has the characteristics of high sensitivity and can be detected in the early stage of disease, and the current main means is PCR detection. PCR technology is a molecular biology technology that realizes DNA amplification in vitro through temperature control, and its core includes three stages of denaturation, annealing, and extension, and is widely used in the fields of medical diagnosis, gene research, and quality control. However, PCR requires professional electrophoresis equipment, fluorescence quantitative PCR equipment, and has high requirements for the operating environment and personnel level, and the result output time is relatively long, and has certain limitations.

[0004] A kit for detecting Nipah virus nucleoprotein antibodies and its application are disclosed in Chinese Patent No. CN118566502A, which is suitable for large-scale serological screening. However, the serological detection method is difficult to detect cases in the early stage of infection, and specific antibodies can be detected only after 5-7 days of onset. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a sequence, a kit and a detection method for detecting nucleic acid of a Nipah virus, which has a short detection time of only 35 minutes, good specificity, high sensitivity, strong anti-interference ability, is suitable for early detection of Nipah virus infection and case finding, and can better prevent and control the Nipah virus. SUMMARY

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, and a sequence, a kit and a detection method for detecting nucleic acid of a Nipah virus are provided, which has a short detection time of only 35 minutes, good specificity, high sensitivity, strong anti-interference ability, is suitable for early detection of Nipah virus infection and case finding, and can better prevent and control the Nipah virus.

[0007] From the above scheme, the application establishes a Nipah virus nucleic acid detection method based on RPA-Crispr / Cas13a technology. CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) is a group of DNA sequences found in prokaryotes such as bacteria and archaea. The CRISPR-Cas system mainly consists of a leader sequence, a CRISPR locus, and CRISPR-related genes encoding Cas (CRISPR-associated proteins). Under the action of crRNA targeted recognition of foreign genes, the endonuclease activity of Cas protein is activated to cut foreign genetic material and achieve immune effect. Since 2011 when the system was discovered, researchers have continuously discovered new protein members. Currently, the CRISPR / Cas system mainly has two types with more than thirty subtypes. Among them, Cas9, Cas12, Cas13, etc. in the second type have shown great application prospects in the field of molecular detection. In 2019, Zhang Feng's team combined isothermal amplification technology with CRISPR / Cas system to develop SHERLOCK platform, realizing rapid detection of pathogens. The application uses the above primers and crRNA to realize a kit for Nipah virus detection with high repeatability, high specificity, and high sensitivity.
