Abstract Background Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) is a fatal, systemic disease caused by a mutant form of Feline Infectious Peritonitis virus (FIPV) and has been reported to occur worldwide in domestic cats and massive wild feline species. Meanwhile a definitive diagnosis of FIPV ante mortem remains challenging. The objective was to develop a qPCR for the detection of FIPV in cats and applied the assay to detected the viral loads in different autopsied organs of a cat naturally infected with FIPV. Results: After genetic comparison, We develop a SYBR Green I based quantitative transcription PCR assay (qPCR) targeting the structural protein N of FIPV. The sensitivity of the new assay in detecting FIPV nucleic acids was approximately 1000 times higher than that of the conventional RT-PCR assay (PCR). There were no cross-reactions with other common viruses. Organ assay showed that FIPV were present in the Heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, duodenal and ascites of the autopsied cat. Histological lesions showed that macrophages, non-toxic neutrophils and lymphocytes predominated in different organs which confirmed that the cat was infected with FIPV. Conclusions We developed a quantitative platform for epidemiological investigations study of FIPV that was simple, sensitive, and rapid.

AbstractA rapid and sensitive real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay coupled with SYBR Green I chemistry was developed for the quantitative detection of Turbot reddish body iridovirus (TRBIV) isolated from farmed turbot (Scophthalmus maximus). A 152 bp DNA fragment from the TRBIV major capsid protein (MCP) gene was involved in the real-time PCR (RT-PCR) assay using the Roter Gene 3000 sequence detection system. The PCR mixture contained a fluorescent dye, SYBR Green I, which exhibited fluorescence enhancement when bound to double-stranded (ds) DNA. The enhancement of fluorescence was proportional to the initial concentration of the template DNA. The positive control plasmid, pUCm-T/TRBIV MCP, containing the target sequence, was quantified to make a standard curve for sample detection after serial tenfold dilution. Linear coefficient correlations between the cycle threshold (CT) value and logarithmic positive plasmid concentration were close to one (R2=0.9952) and the detection limit of the assay was 102 copies of positive plasmids. The quantitative detection of virus in different tissues from TRBIV-infected fish showed that the spleen and kidney contained the largest number of viral particles (5.23×106 and 2.18×106 viral genome copies/mg tissue, respectively), while no viral DNA was detected in the muscular tissue. The molecular epidemic investigation of TRBIV showed that many cultured turbots were infected and TRBIV has become epidemic in turbot farms located along the Shandong peninsula. The virus number varied from 1.27×102 to 2.33×106 viral genome copies/mg tissue in spleens of infected turbot. These results suggest that the RT-PCR assay reported here can be used as a rapid, sensitive and quantitative method for TRBIV.
