Panich W, Tejangkura T, Chontananarth T. Assay for the simultaneous detection of Raillietina spp. (R. echinobothrida, R. tetragona, and R. cesticillus) and Ascaridia galli infection in chickens using duplex loop-mediated isothermal amplification integrated with a lateral flow dipstick assay. Vet Parasitol 2024; 328:110174. [PMID: 38579608 DOI: 10.1016/j.vetpar.2024.110174] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2023] [Revised: 03/22/2024] [Accepted: 03/22/2024] [Indexed: 04/07/2024]
Abstract
Raillietina species and Ascaridia galli are two of the significant intestinal parasites that affect chickens in a free-range system production. They destroy the intestinal mucosa layer, leading to several clinical symptoms such as weight loss, a slowed growth rate, and economic value loss. Thus, the objective of this study was to develop an assay for simultaneously detecting Raillietina spp. (R. echinobothrida, R. tetragona, and R. cesticillus) and A. galli in a single reaction using duplex loop-mediated isothermal amplification (dLAMP) coupled with a lateral flow dipstick (LFD) assay. The analytical specificity of the dLAMP-LFD assay showed a high specific amplification of Raillietina spp. and A. galli without non-target amplification. Regarding the analytical sensitivity, this approach was capable of simultaneously detecting concentrations as low as 5 pg/μL of mixed-targets. To evaluate the efficiency of the dLAMP assay, 30 faecal samples of chickens were verified and compared through microscopic examination. The dLAMP-LFD assay and microscopic examination results showed kappa values of Raillietina spp. and A. galli with moderate (K= 0.615) to high (K= 1) agreements, respectively, while the McNemar's test indicated that the efficiency between assays was not significantly different. Therefore, the developed dLAMP-LFD assay can be used as an alternative screening method to the existing classical method for epidemiological investigation, epidemic control, and farm management, as well as for addressing poultry health problems.

Biol Methods Protoc 2024; 9:bpae034. [PMID: 38835856 PMCID: PMC11147795 DOI: 10.1093/biomethods/bpae034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2024] [Revised: 05/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Point-of-care (POC) field screening for tools for Mycoplasma bovis (M. bovis) is still lacking due to the requirement for a simple, robust field-applicable test that does not entail specialized laboratory equipment. In accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, this review identifies the methodologies that were retrieved based on our search strategy that have been reported for the diagnosis of m. bovis infection between 2014 and diagnostics. A search criterion was generated to curate 103 articles, which were reduced in number (to 46), following the screening guidelines of PRISMA. The 43 articles included in the study present 25 different assay methods. The assay methods were grouped as microbiological culture, serological assay, PCR-based assay, LAMP-based assay, NGS-based assay, or lateral flow assay. We, however, focus our discussion on the three lateral flow-based assays relative to others, highlighting the advantages they present above the other techniques and their potential applicability as a POC diagnostic test for M. bovis infections. We therefore call for further research on developing a lateral flow-based screening tool that could revolutionize the diagnosis of M. bovis infection.

[PMID: 38511154 PMCID: PMC10950744 DOI: 10.1016/j.crfs.2024.100716] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 03/01/2024] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 03/22/2024] Open
Abstract
Rapid identification of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, or STEC, is of utmost importance to assure the innocuousness of the foodstuffs. STEC have been implicated in outbreaks associated with different types of foods however, among them, ready-to-eat (RTE) vegetables are particularly problematic as they are consumed raw, and are rich in compounds that inhibit DNA-based detection methods such as qPCR. In the present study a novel method based on Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) to overcome the limitations associated with current molecular methods for the detection of STEC in RTE vegetables targeting stx1 and stx2 genes. In this sense, LAMP demonstrated to be more robust against inhibitory substances in food. In this study, a comprehensive enrichment protocol was combined with four inexpensive DNA extraction protocols. The one based on silica purification enhanced the performance of the method, therefore it was selected for its implementation in the final method. Additionally, three different detection chemistries were compared, namely real-time fluorescence detection, and two end-point colorimetric strategies, one based on the addition of SYBR Green, and the other based on a commercial colorimetric master mix. After optimization, all three chemistries demonstrated suitable for the detection of STEC in spiked RTE salad samples, as it was possible to reach a LOD50 of 0.9, 1.4, and 7.0 CFU/25 g for the real-time, SYBR and CC LAMP assays respectively. All the performance parameters reached values higher than 90 %, when compared to a reference method based on multiplex qPCR. More specifically, the analytical sensitivity was 100, 90.0 and 100 % for real-time, SYBR and CC LAMP respectively, the specificity 100 % for all three assays, and accuracy 100, 96 and 100 %. Finally, a high degree of concordance was also obtained (1, 0.92 and 1 respectively). Considering the current technological advances, the method reported, using any of the three detection strategies, demonstrated suitable for their implementation in decentralized settings, with low equipment resources.

Abstract
Chicken parvovirus (ChPV), chicken infectious anaemia virus (CIAV) and fowl adenovirus serotype 4 (FAdV-4) are avian viruses that have emerged in recent years and have endangered the global poultry industry, causing great economic loss. In this study, a multiplex fluorescence-based loop-mediated isothermal amplification (mLAMP) assay for detecting ChPV, CIAV and FAdV-4 was developed to simultaneously diagnose single and mixed infections in chickens. Three primer sets and composite probes were designed according to the conserved regions of the NS gene of ChPV, VP1 gene of CIAV and hexon gene of FAdV-4. Each composite probe was labelled with a different fluorophore, which was detached to release the fluorescence signal after amplification. The target viruses were distinguished based on the colour of the mLAMP products. The mLAMP assay was shown to be sensitive, with detection limits of 307 copies of recombinant plasmids containing the ChPV target genes, 749 copies of CIAV and 648 copies of FAdV-4. The assay exhibited good specificity and no cross-reactivity with other symptomatically related avian viruses. When used on field materials, the results of the mLAMP assay were in 100% agreement with those of the previously published PCR assay. The mLAMP assay is rapid, economical, sensitive and specific, and the results of amplification are directly observable by eye. Therefore, the mLAMP assay is a useful tool for the clinical detection of ChPV, CIAV and FAdV-4 and can be applied in rural areas.

Abstract
Ascaridia galli is an important nematode that causes ascaridiasis in free-range and indoor system chicken farms. Infection with A. galli may damage the intestinal mucosa and inhibit nutrient absorption, leading to a reduced growth rate, weight loss and a decreased egg production. Consequently, A. galli infection is a significant health problem in chickens. In this study, we developed a loop-mediated isothermal amplification coupled with a lateral flow dipstick (LAMP-LFD) assay for the visual detection of A. galli eggs in faecal samples. The LAMP-LFD assay consists of six primers and one DNA probe that recognize the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) region; it can be performed within 70 min and the results can be interpreted with the naked eye. Using the LAMP-LFD assay developed in this study, A. galli DNA was specifically amplified without any cross-reactions with other related parasites (Heterakis gallinarum, Raillietina echinobothrida, R. tetragona, R. cesticillus, Cotugnia sp., Echinostoma miyagawai) and definitive hosts (Gallus gallus domesticus, Anas platyrhynchos domesticus). The minimum detectable DNA concentration was 5 pg/μl, and the detectable egg count was 50 eggs per reaction. The assay can be performed in a water bath, without the need for post-mortem morphological investigations and laboratory instruments. It is therefore a viable alternative for the detection of A. galli in chicken faeces and can replace classical methods in field screening for epidemiological investigations, veterinary health and poultry farming management. RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTSThis is the first study using the LAMP-LFD assay for Ascaridia galli detection.The results can be observed by the naked eye.The developed assay can be used to detect Ascaridia galli eggs in faecal samples.

Abstract
Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a nucleic acid amplification technique that can be used to amplify target genes at a constant temperature, and it has several advantages, including convenience, specificity and sensitivity. However, due to the special interpretation methods of this technology for reaction results, all the previously reported LAMP detection methods have been restricted to identifying a single target, which limits the application of this technology. In this study, we modified conventional LAMP to include a quencher-fluorophore composite probe complementary to the F1c segment of the inner primer FIP; upon strand separation, a gain in the visible fluorescent signal was observed. The probes could be labeled with different fluorophores, showing different colors at the corresponding wavelengths. Therefore, this multiplex LAMP (mLAMP) assay can simultaneously detect 1-3 target sequences in a single LAMP reaction tube, and the results are more accurate and intuitive. In this study, we comprehensively demonstrated a single-reaction mLAMP assay for the robust detection of three cattle viruses without nonspecific amplification of other related pathogenic cattle viruses. The detection limit of this mLAMP assay was as low as 526-2477 copies/reaction for the recombinant plasmids. It is expected that this mLAMP assay can be widely used in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
As the causative agent of Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR) and Infectious Pustular Vulvovaginitis/Balanoposthitis (IPV/IPB), Bovine alphaherpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) is responsible for high economic losses in the cattle industry worldwide. This study aimed to establish a fast, colorimetric loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for the detection of viral DNA. Phenol red is used as pH-sensitive readout, relying on a distinct color change from pink to yellow in case of a positive reaction. LAMP reactions with different primers were compared and a newly designed set targeting the gene encoding the tegument protein V67 provided best results, enabling readout within 8-30 min. LAMP showed less cross-reactions with other ruminant alphaherpesviruses than qPCR but was 10-fold less sensitive. However, LAMP still detected down to 14 copies. The test performance was evaluated using 26 well-characterized nasal swabs from cattle with respiratory disease. All samples were correctly identified when using column-extracted DNA. Using a simple DNA precipitation method, only two weak-positive samples turned indeterminate. Combining this DNA precipitation with a makeshift water bath heated by a gastronomic immersion heater allowed successful application of the colorimetric LAMP assay under resource-limited conditions. This technique can therefore help in managing IBR/IPV outbreaks where sophisticated laboratory equipment is unavailable.

Abstract
The immune response associated with mastitis caused by Mycoplasma bovis is a very complicated biological process in several type of cells, including immune cells, mammary epithelial cells, and endothelial cells. Thus, revealing of the microRNAs in the Mycoplasma bovis infected mammary gland tissues is particularly important for the immune response mechanism to Mycoplasma bovis. Firstly, 20 mammary gland tissue samples were collected from Holstein Friesian cattle that was located in Erzurum province at 2018 and screened for Mycoplasma bovis. Then, total RNA was isolated from Mycoplasma bovis infected tissues and high-throughput sequencing was performed. After bioinformatics analysis, GO and KEGG analysis of target genes of identified microRNAs were conducted. In this study, a total of 616 microRNAs were found. Our results revealed that 24 of the known microRNAs were expressed differently and 13 of the novel microRNAs were expressed differently in Mycoplasma bovis positive tissues. The target genes of these microRNAs were found to be associated with especially inflammation pathways, including B cell and T cell receptor signaling, Fc gamma R-mediated, phagocytosis/chemokine signaling, and MAPK signaling. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that identified miRNAs may be involved in the signaling pathways during mastitis caused by Mycoplasma bovis.

Abstract
Mycoplasma bovis (M. bovis) causes diseases such as arthritis, pneumonia, abortion, and mastitis, leading to great losses in the bovine dairy industries. RNA types such as messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play significant roles in regulating the immune responses triggered by bacteria. The expression profiles of mRNA and lncRNA as they occur in bovine mammary gland tissues infected with M. bovis are still not well understood. To illuminate this issue, transcription analysis of mRNA and LncRNAs were conducted on the mammary gland tissues belonging to Holstein cattle infected and not infected with M. bovis. The analysis revealed 1310 differentially expressed mRNAs and 57 differentially expressed lncRNAs in the bovine mammary gland tissues infected and not infected with M. bovis. In addition, 392 novel lncRNAs were detected, 19 of which were differentially expressed. Gene ontology analysis reveals that differentially expressed mRNAs and lncRNAs play significant roles in such vital biological pathways as metabolic pathways, T-cell receptor signaling, TGF-beta signaling, pathways in cancer, PI3K-Akt signaling, NF-kappa B signaling, mTOR signaling, and apoptosis, including in the immune response to cancer. Based on our literature review, this study is the first genome-wide lncRNA research conducted on bovine mammary gland tissues infected with M. bovis. Our results provide bovine mammary gland lncRNA and mRNA resources to understand their roles in the regulation of the immune response against the agent M. bovis in bovine mammary gland tissues.
