The invention relates to the technical field of
nucleic acid molecule detection, and particularly discloses a kit for detecting forest
encephalitis virus nucleic acid through an RT-MIRA / Cas12a one-
step method and application thereof.According to the method,
total RNA extracted from ticks or infected blood samples serves as a template, target sequence amplification is conducted through the RT-MIRA / Cas12a rapid amplification technology, then the target sequence is assembled with Cas12a
protein and crRNA to form a compound, and the target sequence is detected through an RT-MIRA / Cas12a one-
step method. And activating the excision activity of Cas12a, and
cutting the free single-stranded
DNA probe in the
system. According to the detection result, visual
fluorescence can be observed through naked eyes under an
ultraviolet light source or a
blue light source, or generation of a red strip at the position of a detection line is observed through a
CRISPR single
system detection test strip. The method has good specificity on the forest
encephalitis virus, and has no cross reaction with other
tick-borne viruses, parasites and common
bacteria; the kit has the advantages of simplicity and convenience in operation, rapidness in detection, intuitive result, high sensitivity and the like, and an efficient tool is provided for on-site rapid screening and
epidemiological monitoring of the forest
encephalitis virus.
