Abstract
Haemonchosis remains a significant problem in small ruminants. In this study, the assay of recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) combined with the lateral flow strip (LFS-RPA) was established for the rapid detection of Haemonchus contortus in goat feces. The assay used primers and a probe targeting a specific sequence in the ITS-2 gene. We compared the performance of the LFS-RPA assay to a PCR assay. The LFS-RPA had a detection limit of 10 fg DNA, which was 10 times less compared to the lowest detection limit obtained by PCR. Out of 24 goat fecal samples, LFS-RPA assay detected H. contortus DNA with 95.8% sensitivity, compared to PCR, 79.1% sensitivity. LFS-RPA assay did not detect DNA from other related helminth species and demonstrated an adequate tolerance to inhibitors present in the goat feces. Taken together, our results suggest that LFS-RPA assay had a high diagnostic accuracy for the rapid detection of H. contortus and merits further evaluation.
期刊介绍:
The Korean Journal of Parasitology is the official journal paperless, on-line publication after Vol. 53, 2015 of The Korean Society for Parasitology and Tropical Medicine. Abbreviated title is ‘Korean J Parasitol’. It was launched in 1963. It contains original articles, case reports, brief communications, reviews or mini-reviews, book reviews, and letters to the editor on parasites of humans and animals, vectors, host-parasite relationships, zoonoses, and tropical medicine. It is published bimonthly in February, April, June, August, October, and December each year. Supplement numbers are at times published. All of the manuscripts are peer-reviewed.
