Largemouth bass virus (LMBV) and infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) are both belong to Iridoviridae that cause considerable economic losses in the fish industry. There is no reported literature that can detect these two viruses simultaneously. In this study, we established a multiplex quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assay that can specifically and simultaneously detect both LMBV and ISKNV in fish samples. The specificity experiment showed that the method only amplified LMBV and ISKNV but not the other 10 common fish viruses. The slope (m), efficiency (E) and linearity (R) determined from the generated standard curve were all within the optimal range of qPCR values. The detection limit of the multiplex qPCR assay was as low as 4 copies/μL for LMBV DNA and 7 copies/μL for ISKNV DNA, respectively. The established method exhibited adequate repeatability and reproducibility, and the intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation were both less than 3 %. The accuracy of the multiplex qPCR method was validated using 229 fish samples and was more precise than that of the conventional PCR assay. In summary, the established multiplex qPCR assay can simultaneously detect LMBV and ISKNV to monitor the risk of infection LMBV and ISKNV and control the disease early.

Background: Owing to high sensitivity and ability for absolute quantification, the droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) is widely used for viral and bacterial detection. However, few studies have been conducted on the application of ddPCR to identify the original plant species used in traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese patent medicine.
Purpose: In this study, we investigated the feasibility of using ddPCR to differentiate between Notopterygium incisum and N.

Background: Epidemiological studies associate an increase in breast cancer risk, particularly triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), with lack of breastfeeding. This is more prevalent in African American women, with significantly lower rate of breastfeeding compared to Caucasian women. Prolonged breastfeeding leads to gradual involution (GI), whereas short-term or lack of breastfeeding leads to abrupt involution (AI) of the breast.

The proportion of older individuals needing liver transplantation is growing, resulting in an increasingly frail patient population. Frailty constitutes a constellation of cognitive and physical symptoms associated with aging and increases the risk of morbidity and mortality. Senescence is a programmed cell fate in response to stress implicated in causing frailty, age-related diseases, and aging itself.

The bovine respiratory disease complex (BRD) is a multifactorial disease caused by various bacterial and viral pathogens. Using rapid pathogen detection techniques is helpful for tailoring therapeutic and preventive strategies in affected animals and herds. The objective of this study was to report the frequency of 10 pathogens by multiplex RT-qPCR on samples submitted for BRD diagnosis to a diagnostic laboratory (Biovet Inc.

Porcine hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus (PHEV), porcine pseudorabies virus (PRV), and classical swine fever virus (CSFV) are currently prevalent worldwide and cause similar neurological symptoms in infected pigs. It is very important to establish a detection method that can rapidly and accurately detect and differentiate these three viruses. Targeting the PHEV N gene, PRV gB gene, and CSFV 5' untranslated region (5'UTR), three pairs of specific primers and probes were designed, and a triplex crystal digital reverse transcription-PCR (cdRT-PCR) was developed to detect PHEV, PRV, and CSFV.
