Abstract
In recent years, outbreaks of gouty goose disease in goslings caused by a novel goose astrovirus (nGAstV) have occurred across major poultry-producing regions in Eastern China, with a mortality rate of approximately 50%. To date, there is a lack of rapid detection kits for early-stage disease control to reduce economic losses. In this study, two nanobodies (Nb-58 and Nb-60) that reacted with the nGAstV P2 protein were screened and identified using phage display technology and immunological experiments to develop colloidal gold immunochromatographic strips (CGISs) for nGAstV detection. CGIS did not cross-react with goose parvovirus (GPV), goose circovirus (GCV), H9N2 avian influenza virus (H9N2 AIV), Newcastle disease virus (NDV), avian leukemia virus (ALV), or infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), indicating its strong specificity. The detection threshold of the CGIS was more than 640-fold diluted nGAstV (~101.57 TCID50), which was comparable to a Ct value of 26.82, thereby showing high sensitivity. CGIS, with high stability, could be stored for at least 6 months at 25 and 4°C. The repeatability test showed that nGAstV could be readily detected in different CGIS batches. The coincidence rates of CGIS and conventional reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in 51 clinical tissue samples and 60 cloacal swab samples were 100% and 95.24%, respectively. In conclusion, the present study identified two specific Nbs and developed a reliable CGIS for the rapid detection of nGAstV in the field setting.
期刊介绍:
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases brings together in one place the latest research on infectious diseases considered to hold the greatest economic threat to animals and humans worldwide. The journal provides a venue for global research on their diagnosis, prevention and management, and for papers on public health, pathogenesis, epidemiology, statistical modeling, diagnostics, biosecurity issues, genomics, vaccine development and rapid communication of new outbreaks. Papers should include timely research approaches using state-of-the-art technologies. The editors encourage papers adopting a science-based approach on socio-economic and environmental factors influencing the management of the bio-security threat posed by these diseases, including risk analysis and disease spread modeling. Preference will be given to communications focusing on novel science-based approaches to controlling transboundary and emerging diseases. The following topics are generally considered out-of-scope, but decisions are made on a case-by-case basis (for example, studies on cryptic wildlife populations, and those on potential species extinctions):
Pathogen discovery: a common pathogen newly recognised in a specific country, or a new pathogen or genetic sequence for which there is little context about — or insights regarding — its emergence or spread.
Prevalence estimation surveys and risk factor studies based on survey (rather than longitudinal) methodology, except when such studies are unique. Surveys of knowledge, attitudes and practices are within scope.
Diagnostic test development if not accompanied by robust sensitivity and specificity estimation from field studies.
Studies focused only on laboratory methods in which relevance to disease emergence and spread is not obvious or can not be inferred (“pure research” type studies).
Narrative literature reviews which do not generate new knowledge. Systematic and scoping reviews, and meta-analyses are within scope.
