Bovine rhinitis B virus (BRBV) has been frequently identified in cattle diagnosed with bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC) in recent years, suggesting its potential contribution to BRDC. The goal of this study was to develop a TaqMan-based real-time quantitative RT-PCR assay for efficient BRBV detection. A pair of primers and a probe were designed based on the 3D gene of the BRBV genome. The assay was specific for BRBV and able to exclude bovine rhinitis A virus, foot-and-mouth disease virus and Senecavirus A. The limit of detection of the assay was 4.46 copies per reaction. A standard curve was plotted, with a coefficient of determination of 0.999 in the concentration range of 100-108 copies/μl. The reproducibility of the assay was acceptable, with the standard deviations of cycle threshold values lower than 1.00 in both intra- and inter-assay. Of 200 samples collected from 150 head of cattle in recent years in China, 11% (22/200) of the samples tested positive in the assay, i.e., 4.6% (7/150) of the cattle were BRBV positive. This study provides an efficient diagnostic tool for the epidemiological investigations of BRBV.

Abstract Introduction/Objective Molecular assays for Bartonella species are important in diagnosing infection and expediting patient treatment. Real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) using fluorescent resonance energy transfer (FRET) hybridization probes can be used to detect Bartonella species in blood and fresh/fixed tissue biopsies in RT-PCR instruments. Over time, new technologies and reagents are introduced and existing PCR primers and FRET probes must be re-validated on new platforms. This study aimed to compare the performance of a Bartonella RT-PCR assay using the sunsetting Roche LightCycler® 2.0 (Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, IN) and newer LightCycler® 480 RT- PCR instruments. Methods/Case Report DNA was extracted from 132 historically positive, whole organism spiked, and historically negative whole blood and formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) samples. Samples were run on the LightCycler® 2.0 using instrument specific LightCycler® FastStart DNA Master HybProbe enzyme and compared to results generated using the LightCycler® 480 and its instrument specific LightCycler® 480 Genotyping Master enzyme. During optimization, MgCl2 concentrations and thermocycling profiles were adjusted. Accuracy, specificity, inclusivity, and limit of detection studies were performed. Crossing point (Cp), melting temperature (Tm), fluorescent peak and fluorescent background values were compared between the two instruments. Results (if a Case Study enter NA) The agreement in accuracy between the LightCycler® 2.0 and the LightCycler® 480 was 100% for whole blood samples. For historically positive FFPE samples, LightCycler® 2.0 sensitivity and LightCycler® 480 sensitivity were 86% and 100%, respectively. Specificity and inclusivity of the assay were identical between the two instruments. The limit of detection in whole blood was 5-fold lower on the LightCycler® 480 (50 copies/µL) compared to the LightCycler® 2.0 (250 copies/µL). Mean Cp and fluorescent peak intensity values increased by 5.1% and 65-fold, respectively. Conclusion The study demonstrates similar performance and improved limit of detection for the Bartonella FRET hybridization probe RT-PCR assay on the LightCycler® 480 compared to the LightCycler® 2.0.

Abstract Background: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT) is important for the diagnosis and management of HBV infection. We evaluated the analytical performance of the cobas HBV NAAT (Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Mannheim, Germany) on the cobas 4800 System in comparison with COBAS AmpliPrep/COBAS TaqMan HBV Test (CAP/CTM HBV). Methods: Precision was evaluated using three levels of cobas HBV/HCV/HIV-1 Control Kit, and linearity was evaluated across the anticipated measuring range (10.0–1.0×109 IU/mL) at seven levels using clinical samples. Detection capability, including limit of blank (LOB), limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ), was verified using the 4th WHO International Standard for HBV DNA for NAT (NIBSC code: 10/266). Correlation between the two systems was compared using 205 clinical samples (102 sera and 103 EDTA plasma). Results: Repeatability and total imprecision (coefficient of variation) ranged from 0.5% to 3.8% and from 0.5% to 3.5%, respectively. Linearity (coefficient of determination, R2) was 0.999. LOB, LOD and LOQ were all acceptable within the observed proportion rate (85%). Correlation was very high between the two systems in both serum and plasma samples (correlation coefficient [r]=0.995). Conclusions: The new cobas HBV real-time PCR assay on the cobas 4800 System showed reliable analytical performances.

Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) is a newly discovered coronavirus, which belongs to the family Coronaviridae. It causes watery diarrhea, vomiting, and dehydration in newborn piglets. A sensitive RT-PCR method is urgently required to detect PDCoV infection. In this study, we developed and evaluated a conventional RT-PCR assay and a SYBR green-based real-time RT-PCR assay that targeted the PDCoV n gene. Both assays are specific and have the same limit of detection at 2 × 101 copies of RNA molecules per reaction. Eighty-four clinical samples were subjected to both conventional RT-PCR and real-time RT-PCR, and the same positive rate (41.7%) was achieved, which was much higher than the positive rate (26.2%) using a previously described one-step RT-PCR technique. In summary, a conventional RT-PCR technique was successfully established for the detection of PDCoV with the same detection limit as a SYBR green-based real-time RT-PCR assay.
