Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of foot-and-mouth disease virus detection, in particular to an antigen detection kit. Background Art
[0002] Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is an acute, febrile, highly contagious zoonosis caused by the foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV). It poses a significant threat to the livestock industry, with many domestic animals susceptible to infection, including cattle, pigs, sheep, and camels. FMDV belongs to the genus FMDV within the family Picornaviridae. Seven serotypes are known: A, O, C, SAT1, SAT2, SAT3, and Asian. The virus is frequently transmitted to healthy livestock through direct and indirect contact, infecting them via the respiratory tract, digestive tract, and damaged skin and mucous membranes. Infection is characterized by blisters and ulcers on the oral mucosa, hooves, and udder skin. It is widespread worldwide, occurring in Africa, Asia, South America, and parts of Europe. Because it can also infect humans, it has become one of the most significant global health issues for both humans and animals. Due to its highly contagious nature, once established, the disease can infect a wide range of animals, leading to high morbidity and rapid spread. It is difficult to control and eliminate, often becoming an epidemic or even a pandemic, resulting in significant economic losses.
[0003] Currently, foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a mandatory animal disease for international trade and a reportable disease under OE regulations. Common methods for detecting FMD virus include nucleic acid hybridization, RT-PCR, complement fixation test (CFT), immunodiffusion precipitation test (IDPT), and immunochromatography. These methods are mostly laboratory-based and require high levels of expertise. Most of these methods are demanding, require extensive instrumentation and specialized personnel, and take a long time to perform, making them unsuitable for testing in remote areas or on-site. Developing a highly sensitive, accurate, reliable, and easy-to-use detection method is crucial for monitoring and preventing FMD virus. Therefore, a solution is urgently needed.

[0030] The dropper is used to draw up the sample extract and the sample serum to be tested and drop them onto the test strip 30 in the plastic cartridge. After the sample extract and the sample serum to be tested are dropped onto the test strip 30, they undergo a chromatographic reaction and produce fluorescent bands at the test line 341 and the quality control line 342 on the strip.
[0031] The ultraviolet laser pen is used to illuminate the fluorescent strips generated at the detection line 341 and / or the quality control line 342, and is used to assist in observing the detection results of the detection reagent card on the sample serum to be detected.
[0032] The test strip 30 includes a PVC base 31, a sample pad 32, a NC membrane 34, a conjugation pad 33, and a water-absorbing pad 35.
