Rapid visual detection and differentiation of canine and feline parvovirus via a one-tube RPA-CRISPR/Cas13a assay.

ABSTRACT: Canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) and feline parvovirus (FPV) are highly contagious pathogens that pose significant threats to domestic and wild carnivores. Rapid and accurate diagnosis is crucial for outbreak control and wildlife conservation, especially in resource-limited settings. In this study, we developed a one-tube RPA-CRISPR/Cas13a platform for the rapid detection and differentiation of CPV-2 and FPV. Two systems were established: a universal detection system for simultaneous identification of both viruses, and a differential detection system to distinguish between them. By targeting conserved regions of the VP2 gene and optimizing reaction conditions, we achieved high sensitivity and specificity. The universal system exhibited a limit of detection (LOD) of 10² copies/μL
