A new TaqMan probe-based quantitative PCR assay was developed for detecting Tilapia parvovirus, showing good repeatability and reproducibility with a detection limit of 10 copies/mu l. The assays had comparable sensitivity to a previously developed SYBR Green qPCR and were more sensitive than conventional PCR, without cross-reactivity with other viruses and bacteria. These assays offer high sensitivity and specificity in detecting low concentrations of TiPV DNA in infected tilapia samples, providing a valuable diagnostic tool for experimental and field samples.
Tilapia parvovirus (TiPV) is a novel parvovirus associated with high mortality in Nile tilapia and red hybrid tilapia, leading to severe economic losses for tilapia aquaculture. It is critical to develop a sensitive and accurate assay to detect TiPV in fish tissues. In this study, new TaqMan probe-based quantitative PCR (qPCR) assays targeting the non-structural (NS) and viral protein (VP) genes of TiPV were developed. The standard curves of the assays were 95.64%-98.96% over a wide linear range of 10(9)-10(1) copies of the corresponding standard DNA per reaction. The intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation were in the ranges 0.54%-2.50% and 0.13%-1.17%, respectively, which suggests good repeatability and reproducibility. The detection limit of the TaqMan TiPV assays was 10 copies/mu l. The application of the TaqMan qPCR assays to field samples revealed that they had comparable sensitivity to a previously developed SYBR Green qPCR, but more sensitive than the conventional PCR. No cross-reactivity of the TaqMan TiPV assays was found with the samples infected with other viruses and bacteria. Overall, the assays offered high sensitivity and specificity in the detection of low concentrations of TiPV DNA in infected tilapia samples. These new TaqMan qPCR assays could provide a valuable diagnostic tool for the reliable and specific detection of TiPV in experimental and field samples.
