A one-step reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method has been developed for the simultaneous detection and identification of multiple tospoviruses that infect plants. The RT-PCR system is composed of six primers in a single tube: a universal degenerate primer and five virus species-specific primers. Amplifications resulted in an 848-bp PCR product for Watermelon silver mottle virus, 709-bp for Tomato spotted wilt virus, 589-bp for Impatiens necrotic spot virus, 511-bp for Melon yellow spot virus, and a 459-bp amplicon for Iris yellow spot virus. This system enables the simultaneous detection of at least three types of tospovirus infections, in addition to their species identities, from five possible tospoviruses studied, on the basis of their S RNA combinations. This multiplex RT-PCR system was applied to the detection of tospovirus in ornamental crops cultivated in fields and shows potential for epidemiological studies.

A multiplex reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method was developed for the simultaneous detection of the human enteroviruses, hepatitis A virus (HAV) and Norwalk virus (NV). Poliovirus type 1 (PV1) was chosen as a model for the human enterovirus group. Three different sets of primers were used to produce three size-specific amplicons of 435 bp, 270 bp, and 192 bp for PV1, NV, and HAV, respectively. RT-PCR products were separated by agarose gel electrophoresis, and amplicon identity was confirmed by Southern transfer followed by DNA hybridization using nonradio-active, digoxigenin-labeled internal probes. When tested on mixed, purified virus suspensions, the multiplex method achieved detection limits of ≤1 infectious unit (PV1 and HAV) or RT-PCR-amplifiable unit (NV) for all viruses. With further streamlining efforts such as single tube amplification and liquid hybridization, multiplex PCR offers advantages over cell culture methodology and monoplex PCR because it allows for rapid and cost-effective detection of several human enteric viruses in a single reaction tube.

Influenza A virus, subtype H5N1 causes a fatal disease in domestic poultry and could spread directly from poultry to humans. The aim of this study was to develop a multiplex reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (mRT-PCR) for simultaneous detection of Type A influenza virus-specific matrix protein (M) gene as well as H5 and N1 genes of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses. Finnzymes Phusion-Flash High- Fidelity PCR Master Mix (Finnzymes Oy, Finland) and Qiagen one-step RT-PCR enzyme mix (Qiagen, Germany) were used in a one-step RT-PCR. RNA was extracted from two known positive samples using Qiagen RNA extraction kit. RT-PCR was carried out with a mixture of primers specific for the Type A influenza virus matrix protein (M), and H5 and N1 genes of H5N1 HPAI viruses in a single reaction system. The mRT-PCR cDNA products were visualized by gel electrophoresis. The mRT-PCR yielded fragments of 245 bp for M, 545 bp for H5 and 343 bp for N1 genes of HPAI virus, which were clearly distinguishable. The mRT-PCR using the Finnzymes Phusion-Flash High-Fidelity PCR Master Mix (Finnzymes Oy, Finland) with Qiagen one-step RT-PCR Enzyme Mix (Qiagen, Germany) required only one hour and 20 minutes.

A multiplex reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (mRT-PCR) was developed for simultaneous detection of nine grapevine viruses: Arabis mosaic virus, Grapevine fanleaf virus, Grapevine virus A, Grapevine virus B, Rupestris stem pitting-associated virus, Grapevine fleck virus, Grapevine leafroll-associated virus-1, -2, and -3, in combination with a plant RNA internal control used as an indicator of the effectiveness of RNA extraction and RT-PCR. Primers were designed from conserved regions of each virus and their specificity was confirmed by sequencing PCR products. Two plant total RNA extraction methods (silica capture and modified RNeasy method) and two RT-PCR systems (onestep and two-step) were evaluated to develop a reliable protocol for mRT-PCR. One to nine fragments specific for the viruses were simultaneously amplified from infected samples and identified by their specific molecular sizes in agarose gel electrophoresis. In the two-step mRT-PCR, the detection limits were 10-3 or 10-4 extract dilutions, depending on the virus. Leaves, phloem from dormant cuttings, and in vitro plantlets from 103 naturally infected and healthy grapevines were analyzed. The mRT-PCR provided a reliable and rapid method for detecting grapevine viruses from a large number of samples.

ABSTRACTFive species within the genera Ebolavirus and Marburgvirus of the family Filoviridae are known to cause severe hemorrhagic fever with high mortality rates in humans and non-human primates. Recent large outbreaks of Ebola virus disease in West Africa (2014 - 2016) and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (2018 - ongoing) have demonstrated the epidemic potential with devastating public health consequences. Several known and novel filovirus species have been found in bats in recent years. However, the role of each virus species in the disease ecology of human disease is still unclear. In particular, the transmission mechanism from potential animal hosts to humans is not known. Therefore, a simple, flexible, cost-effective screening tool for detecting the presence of any (putative) member of the filovirus family in animal samples is needed. In this study, a one-step conventional pan-filovirus RT-PCR assay was developed. The designed universal consensus primers of this screening test target two highly conserved regions of the nucleoprotein (NP) of all currently known filoviruses. The assay was capable of specific amplification of viral RNA of all six primate-pathogenic (human and non-human) filovirus species and resulted in 317 bp long RT-PCR products. This amplicon length renders the assay suitable for flexible application as conventional reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as well as for future use as rapid real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR).

A multiplex nested reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in a single closed tube was developed for the simultaneous detection of four RNA viruses: Cucumber mosaic virus, Cherry leaf roll virus, Strawberry latent ringspot virus, and Arabis mosaic virus, and the bacterium Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. savastanoi. The method enabled, for the first time, the sensitive and simultaneous detection of RNA and DNA targets from plant viruses and a bacterium, saving time, decreasing risks of contamination, and reducing costs compared with conventional monospecific nested amplifications. The method was successfully coupled with colorimetric detection of amplicons using specific oligoprobes to simplify routine detection. Two hundred forty-five olive trees from 15 different cultivars were analyzed by multiplex RT-nested PCR coupled with colorimetric detection. Multiplex nested RT-PCR for viral detection increased the identification of positive trees by 8.1%. An uneven distribution of the viruses was observed in the infected trees. The bacterium was detected in 28.7% of the analyzed trees by the developed multiplex nested method and by a nested PCR previously developed. This powerful methodology could be applied to other models for the detection of several pathogens in a single assay.
