Epidemiological investigation of swine Japanese encephalitis virus based on RT-RAA detection method.

ABSTRACT: JEV is one of the zoonotic pathogens that cause serious diseases in humans. JEV infection can cause abortion, mummified foetus and stillbirth in sows, orchitis and semen quality decline in boars, causing huge economic losses to pig industry. In order to investigate the epidemiology of JEV in pigs in Sichuan province, a rapid and efficient fluorescent Reverse transcription recombinase-aided amplification (RT-RAA) detection method was established. Aborted fetuses and testicular swollen boar samples were detected by RT-RAA in pigs in the mountain areas around Sichuan Basin, and the detection rate of JEV was 6.49%. The positive samples were identified as JEV GI strain and GIIIstrain by sequencing analysis. We analyzed the whole gene sequence of a positive sample for the GI virus. The Envelope
