About: Abstract Beak atrophy and dwarfism syndrome (BADS) is commonly caused by co-infection with duck circovirus (DuCV) and novel goose parvovirus (NGPV). Therefore, concurrent detection of both viruses is important for monitoring and limiting BADS, although such a diagnostic test has not been reported. In this study, we developed a duplex, SYBR Green I-based real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay to enable the simultaneous detection of DuCV and NGPV. The assay readily distinguished between the two viruses, based on their different melting temperatures (Tm), where the Tm for DuCV was 80 °C and that for NGPV was 84.5 °C. Other non-target duck viruses that were tested did not show melting peaks. The detection limit of the duplex assay was 101 copies/μL for both viruses. This method exhibited high repeatability and reproducibility, and both the inter-assay and intra-assay variation coefficients were <1.6%. Thirty-one fecal samples were collected for clinical testing using real-time PCR analysis, and the results were confirmed using sequencing. The rate of co-infection was 6.5%, which was consistent with the sequencing results. This duplex real-time PCR assay offers advantages over other tests, such as rapid, sensitive, specific, and reliable detection of both viruses in a single sample, which enables the quantitative detection of DuCV and NGPV in clinical samples. Using this test may be instrumental in reducing the incidence of BADS and the associated economic losses in the duck and goose industries.   Goto Sponge  NotDistinct  Permalink
