Detection of Avian Leukosis Virus Subgroup J (ALV-J) Using RAA and CRISPR-Cas13a Combined with Fluorescence and Lateral Flow Assay.

ABSTRACT: Avian Leukosis Virus (ALV) is a retrovirus that induces immunosuppression and tumor formation in poultry, posing a significant threat to the poultry industry. Currently, there are no effective vaccines or treatments for ALV. Therefore, the early diagnosis of infected flocks and farm sanitation are crucial for controlling outbreaks of this disease. To address the limitations of traditional diagnostic methods, which require sophisticated equipment and skilled personnel, a dual-tube detection method for ALV-J based on reverse transcription isothermal amplification (RAA) and the CRISPR-Cas13a system has been developed. This method offers the advantages of high sensitivity, specificity, and rapidity; it is capable of detecting virus concentrations as low as 5.4 × 10⁰ copies/μL withou
