Establishment of a Quadruplex RT-qPCR for the Detection of Canine Coronavirus, Canine Respiratory Coronavirus, Canine Adenovirus Type 2, and Canine Norovirus.

ABSTRACT: Canine coronavirus (CCoV), canine respiratory coronavirus (CRCoV), canine adenovirus type 2 (CAV-2), and canine norovirus (CNV) are important pathogens for canine viral gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases. Especially, co-infections with these viruses exacerbate the damages of diseases. In this study, four pairs of primers and probes were designed to specifically amplify the conserved regions of the CCoV M gene, CRCoV N gene, CAV-2 hexon gene, and CNV RdRp gene. After optimizing different reaction conditions, a quadruplex RT-qPCR was established for the detection of CCoV, CRCoV, CAV-2, and CNV. The specificity, sensitivity, and repeatability of the established assay were evaluated. Then, the assay was used to test 1688 clinical samples from pet hospitals in Guangxi province of China d
