The outbreak of an infectious disease characterized by severe symptom of gout has set great threat to several major goose-producing regions in China since December 2016. The causative agent for the novel infection has been identified was a novel goose-origin astrovirus (GoAstV). Lack of effective detection methods indeed hinders further research, as well as prevention and control of GoAstV. Keep this in mind, a TaqMan-based one-step real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay for rapid detection of GoAstV was developed. Primers and probe were targeting the capsid protein gene sequence (ORF2). The method is capable of detecting quite low number of targeting nucleic acid as low as 10 copies/μL. What's more, it is also of great specificity and repeatability for GoAstV detection. No cross-activity was found with other goose-origin viruses. The assay had excellent intra-assay and inter-assay repeatability with the coefficient of variation (CV) value from 0.48% to 0.99%. A total of 340 GoAstV specimens from different regions of China were used in this study to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of this method in clinical diagnosis. The results indicated that qRT-PCR is a highly sensitive, specific and repeatable method for quantitative detection of GoAstV, which can be used to detect this virus, thereby facilitating epidemiological investigations of gout in goslings.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is the pathogen that causes porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), leading to abortion of sows and the manifestation of respiratory diseases in piglets. PRRSV strains are categorized into two distinct genotypes: PRRSV-1 and PRRSV-2. PRRSV-2 can be further classified into several lineages, including sub-lineage 1.

Emergence of novel human pathogens pose significant challenges to human health as highlighted by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Wastewater based epidemiology (WBE) has previously been employed to identify viral pathogens and outbreaks by testing samples from regional wastewater treatment plants. Near source tracking (NST) allows for more targeted WBE by analysing samples from individual buildings such as schools or even individual floors such as in multi-floor office buildings.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the causative agent for the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. For laboratory diagnosis, low-cost detection of SARS-CoV-2 is urgently needed, particularly in developing countries with limited resources. Probe- or TaqMan-based real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) is currently the gold standard for diagnosing infected individuals, as recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates various RNA extraction kits and RT-qPCR detection methods for diagnosing COVID-19, emphasizing the importance of reliable diagnostics.
- Four RNA extraction kits were compared alongside different detection systems, showing that while most kits performed similarly, the BGI system had the best overall results.
- The research found that direct, extraction-free RT-qPCR could simplify the process, reducing time and costs while still maintaining effective detection efficacy, although it was less sensitive than extraction methods.
