A novel recombinase polymerase amplification assay for rapid detection of epidemic fowl adenovirus.

ABSTRACT: Fowl adenovirus (FAdV) has posed a grave threat to the health of poultry, and the sudden outbreak highlights the importance of the new rapid diagnostic method for the control and prevention of transmission. Hence, in the present study, a novel recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) assay, which was suitable for all 12 serotypes (FAdV-1 to 8a and 8b to 11) had been successfully launched to detect FAdV. Also, the entire amplification process could be completed in the isothermal condition when temperature ranged from 26 to 42°C within no more than 14 min, which was remarkably superior to endpoint polymerase chain reaction (98 min) with the same detecting sensitivity (as low as 0.1 fg viral DNA), avoiding sophisticated thermal cyclers with simple operation. Additionally, the same primers d
