Duck viral enteritis is a highly contagious and fatal disease of commercial waterfowl flocks. The disease occurs sporadically or epizootically in mainland China due to insufficient vaccinations. Early and rapid diagnosis is important for preventive intervention and the control of epizootic events in clinical settings. In this study, we generated two monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) that specifically recognized the duck enteritis virus (DEV) envelope glycoprotein B and tegument protein UL47, respectively. Using these MAbs, a colloidal gold-based immunochromatographic assay (ICA) was developed for the efficient detection of DEV antigens within 15 min. Our results showed that the detection limit of the developed ICA strip was 2.52 × 103 TCID50/mL for the virus infected cell culture suspension with no cross-reactivity with other pathogenic viruses commonly encountered in commercially raised waterfowl. Using samples from experimentally infected ducks, we demonstrated that the ICA detected the virus in cloacal swab samples on day three post-infection, demonstrating an 80% concordance with the PCR. For tissue homogenates from ducks succumbing to infection, the detection sensitivity was 100%. The efficient and specific detection by this ICA test provides a valuable, convenient, easy to use and rapid diagnostic tool for DVE under both laboratory and field conditions.

Armored RNA (AR) is a good candidate for creating nuclease-resistant RNA positive controls in the nucleic acid - based assay for RNA viruses. To simplify the production and purifcation of armored RNA, a single plasmid double – expressing His6-tag system was designed. His-tag armored RNA particles were purifed using his-tag affnity. A genomic fragment of the zika virus consisting of the encoding sequences of flavi-M, flavi-E-C protein targeted for zika virus was selected to prepare a positive control. In this study, we have successfully produced His-taged MS2- phage like particles carrying specifc genomic regions (M and E genes) to monitor the procedures of real-time Reverse transcription-PCR for Zika virus detection in one plasmid double expression. AR-ZIKA is completely resistant to DNase and RNase, stable in normal human EDTA plasma at room temperature for at least 60 and 15 days at 40C and room temperature respectively.
