The invention relates to the technical field of parasite detection, in particular to a kit and a method for detecting
toxoplasma gondii based on RPA-
CRISPR / Cas12a. The kit comprises a crRNA sequence, wherein the crRNA sequence is as shown in SEQ ID NO.7, SEQ ID NO.11, SEQ ID NO.17, SEQ ID NO.18, SEQ ID NO.21, SEQ ID NO.23 or SEQ ID NO.30, and the crRNA sequence is as shown in SEQ ID NO.7, SEQ ID NO.11, SEQ ID NO.17, SEQ ID NO.18, SEQ ID NO.21, SEQ ID Or the difference between the
nucleotide sequence and the
nucleotide sequence is not more than 2 basic groups. The kit further comprises an RPA primer pair, Cas12a
protein and ssDNA, Cas12a carries out
DNase activity, the single-stranded
DNA marked with
fluorophore is
cut, and whether a sample to be detected contains
toxoplasma gondii DNA or not can be judged by detecting a
fluorescence signal. When being used for detecting
toxoplasma gondii, the
system has the characteristics of short reaction time, strong specificity, high sensitivity, small instrument dependence, simplicity in operation and the like, the effect is outstanding, and the sensitivity is consistent with that of fluorescent quantitative PCR.
