摘要: The similar clinical characteristics of canine circovirus (CaCV) and canine astrovirus (CaAstV) infections and high frequency of co-infection make diagnosis difficult. In this study, a duplex SYBR Green I-based real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was established for the rapid, simultaneous detection of CaCV and CaAstV. Two pairs of specific primers were designed based on the Rep gene of CaCV and the Cap gene of CaAstV. By using the real-time PCR assay method, the two viruses can be distinguished by the difference in melting temperatures, 79 degrees C and 86 degrees C for CaCV and CaAstV, respectively. This assay had high specificity, showing no cross-reaction with other common canine viruses, as well as high sensitivity, with minimum detection limits of 9.25 x 10(1) copies/mu L and 6.15 x 10(1) copies/mu L for CaCV and CaAstV, respectively. Based on the mean coefficient of variation, the method had good reproducibility and reliability. In a clinical test of 57 fecal samples, the rates of positive detection by real-time PCR were 14.04% (8/57) and 12.28% (7/57) for CaCV and CaAstV, respectively, and the rate of co-infection was 8.77% (5/57). In conclusion, the newly established duplex SYBR Green I-based real-time PCR assay is sensitive, specific, reliable, and rapid and is an effective tool for the detection of co infections with CaCV and CaAstV.
