Koi Herpes Virus (KHV) di Indonesia sejak tahun 2002 merupakan penyakit mematikan yang menyerang ikan koi Cyprinus carpio koi dan ikan mas Cyprinus carpio carpio, dan sampai saat ini, infeksi KHV dilaporkan sudah menyebar hampir di seluruh dunia. Untuk mengetahui adanya infeksi KHV perlu cara diagnosa yang sangat akurat/sensitif, sehingga keberadaan KHV dapat diketahui secara pasti dengan tingkat sensitivitas yang lebih baik pada ikan budidaya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengaplikasikan teknik deteksi dengan real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT- qPCR/qPCR) guna mengetahui adanya infeksi KHV secara kuantitatif pada ikan mas dengan mengetahui kandungan virus (viral load). Sebanyak masing-masing 3 ekor sampel diperoleh dari sentra budidaya ikan mas di Cirata-Jawa Barat, Maninjau-Sumatera Barat, dan Banjarmasin-Kalimantan Selatan. Sampel-sampel tersebut selanjutnya dianalisa keberadaan KHV-nya dengan RT-qPCR menggunakan SYBR Green. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa jumlah tertinggi (viral load) diperoleh dari ikan mas asal Cirata-3 dengan nilai Threshold Cycle (Ct.) 18,24 atau setara dengan 3,4 x 107 kopi, dan terendah dari ikan mas asal Banjarmasin-3 dengan nilai Ct. 33,39 atau 1,8 x 102 kopi. Dua standar yang digunakan dalam pengujian ini berupa plasmid dengan jumlah kopi 2 x 104 (Ct 27,24) dan 2 x 103 (Ct 30,24) dan kontrol atau Non Template Control (NTC) adalah 3,1 x 10 atau dengan nilai Ct 35,65. Uji aplikasi deteksi KHV dengan metode RT-qPCR ini memberikan hasil yang lebih sensitif, di mana sampel yang tidak terdeteksi dengan metode PCR konvensional dapat dideteksi dan dihitung jumlah kopi DNA (DNA copy). Since 2002, Koi herpesvirus (KHV) in Indonesian has been a malignant diseases, now recognized as a worldwide cause of mortality among populations of koi Cyprinus carpio koi and common carp Cyprinus carpio carpio. To determine the presence of infection is required the KHV diagnosis method with highly accurate and sensitive, so that the existence KHV can be known exactly with high sensitivity level in fish farming.The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate the infection by Real Time Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT- qPCR/qPCR). Sample were taken from Carp culture in West Java, West Sumatra, and South Kalimantan. The assay was done by SYBR Green RT-qPCR. The analysis result of KHV in carp revealed that the carp from Cirata-3 had the highest viral load with Ct. value 18.24 equal with 3.4 x 107 copies, and the lowest one was the carp from Banjarmasin-3 at Ct. value 33.39 (1.8 x 102 copies), while two standards plasmid and Non Template Control (NTC) had Ct value of 27.24 (2 x 104copies),30.24 (2 x 103copies), and 35.65 (3.1 x 10 copies), respectively. Application KHV test by q-PCR has more advantages and sensitive than that of conventional PCR, and it can be used to detect and calculate the copy number of DNA.

Abstract Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by SARS-CoV-2, is posing a serious threat to global public health. Reverse transcriptase real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) is widely used as the gold standard for clinical detection of SARS-CoV-2. Due to technical limitations, the reported positive rates of qRT-PCR assay of throat swab samples vary from 30 to 60%. Therefore, the evaluation of alternative strategies to overcome the limitations of qRT-PCR is required. A previous study reported that one-step nested (OSN)-qRT-PCR revealed better suitability for detecting SARS-CoV-2. However, information on the analytical performance of OSN-qRT-PCR is insufficient. Method In this study, we aimed to analyze OSN-qRT-PCR by comparing it with droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) and qRT-PCR by using a dilution series of SARS-CoV-2 pseudoviral RNA and a quality assessment panel. The clinical performance of OSN-qRT-PCR was also validated and compared with ddPCR and qRT-PCR using specimens from COVID-19 patients. Result The limit of detection (copies/ml) of qRT-PCR, ddPCR, and OSN-qRT-PCR were 520.1 (95% CI: 363.23–1145.69) for ORF1ab and 528.1 (95% CI: 347.7–1248.7) for N, 401.8 (95% CI: 284.8–938.3) for ORF1ab and 336.8 (95% CI: 244.6–792.5) for N, and 194.74 (95% CI: 139.7–430.9) for ORF1ab and 189.1 (95% CI: 130.9–433.9) for N, respectively. Of the 34 clinical samples from COVID-19 patients, the positive rates of OSN-qRT-PCR, ddPCR, and qRT-PCR were 82.35% (28/34), 67.65% (23/34), and 58.82% (20/34), respectively. Conclusion In conclusion, the highly sensitive and specific OSN-qRT-PCR assay is superior to ddPCR and qRT-PCR assays, showing great potential as a technique for detection of SARS-CoV-2 in patients with low viral loads.
