The development of a rapid, specific, and sensitive SYBR Green I-based duplex real-time quantitative PCR assay is described for the simultaneous detection of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) and porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV3). The assay specifically detected PEDV and PCV3, with no fluorescence detected for other non-targeted pig pathogens. The assay showed a good linear relationship, and the limits of detection for this assay were 34.6 copies/μL and 61.2 copies/μL for PEDV and PCV3, respectively. The assay exhibited high repeatability and reproducibility, with intra-assay and inter-assay variation coefficients less than 2.0%. A clinical evaluation using intestinal tissue and fecal samples from piglets suffering from diarrhea at different pig farms in China revealed that the singular infection rates of PEDV and PCV3 were 43.94% (29/66) and 16.67% (11/66), respectively, while the co-infection rate of PCV3 with PEDV was 27.27% (18/66). The results indicate this assay is a rapid and reliable diagnostic tool for PEDV and PCV3 monitoring and surveillance in the field, and provides technical support for the quantitative detection of clinical samples infected or co-infected with PEDV and PCV3.

African swine fever (ASF) is a severe, hemorrhagic, and highly contagious disease caused by the African swine fever virus (ASFV) in both domestic pigs and wild boars. In China, ASFV has been present for over six years, with three genotypes of strains prevalent in field conditions: genotype I, genotype II, and genotype I/II recombinant strains. In order to differentiate among these three ASFV genotypes, a duplex fluorescent quantitative PCR method was established using specific probes and primers designed based on viral genes MGF_110-1L and O61R from ASFV strains reported in the GenBank database.

Article Synopsis
- - Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) is a leading cause of severe diarrhea and fatalities in piglets, significantly impacting the pig industry, and it presents symptoms similar to those caused by other viruses like PEDV and TGEV.
- - Three innovative detection methods have been created using recombinase-aided amplification (RAA) and Argonaute (PfAgo) techniques, achieving a sensitivity of around 60 copies/μL without interference from other porcine viruses.
- - The effectiveness of these new methods was validated with clinical samples, showing detection rates comparable to traditional qPCR, offering advanced options for diagnosing and managing PDCoV in pigs.

The establishment of high sensitive detection method for various pathogenic microorganisms remains constantly concerned. In the present study, multi-probe strategy was first systematically investigated followed by establishing a highly sensitive TaqMan real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (qPCR) method for detecting African swine fever virus (ASFV). Briefly, four probes based on the gene of ASFV were designed and the effects of different combinations of the probes in a single TaqMan qPCR assay on the detection sensitivity were investigated.

Background And Aim: Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is a pathogenic virus that suppresses the immune system of pigs, impacting their health and causing economic losses. Rapid diagnostic tools for early detection of PCV2 are critical to disease prevention and control. Several molecular techniques have been established for detecting PCV2 but costly equipment and time-consuming methods are unsuitable for field inspection.

African swine fever (ASF) is a severe and highly contagious viral disease that affects domestic pigs and wild boars, characterized by a high fever and internal bleeding. The disease is caused by African swine fever virus (ASFV), which is prevalent worldwide and has led to significant economic losses in the global pig industry. In this study, three pairs of specific primers and TaqMan probes were designed for the ASFV B646L, MGF505-2R and I177L genes.
