Article Abstract
Background: In this study we evaluated the RespoCheck Mycoplasma triplex real-time PCR for the detection in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of Mycoplasma (M.) dispar, M. bovis and M. bovirhinis, all three associated with bovine respiratory disease (BRD). Primers and probes of the RespoCheck Mycoplasma triplex real-time PCR are based on the V3/V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene of the three Mycoplasma species.
Results: The analytical sensitivity of the RespoCheck triplex real-time PCR was, as determined by spiking experiments of the Mycoplasma strains in Phosphate Buffered Saline, 300 colony forming units (cfu)/mL for M. dispar, and 30 cfu/mL for M. bovis or M. bovirhinis. The analytical sensitivity of the RespoCheck Mycoplasma triplex real-time PCRwas, as determined on purified DNA, 10 fg DNA per assay for M. dispar and 100 fg fo rM. bovis and M. bovirhinis. The analytical specificity of the RespoCheck Mycoplasma triplex real-time PCR was, as determined by testing Mycoplasmas strains (n = 17) and other bacterial strains (n = 107), 100, 98.2 and 99.1% for M. bovis, M. dispar and M. bovirhinis respectively. The RespoCheck Mycoplasma triplex real-time PCR was compared with the PCR/DGGE analysis for M. bovis, M. dispar and M. bovirhinis respectively by testing 44 BALF samples from calves.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the RespoCheck PCR assay can be a valuable tool for timely and accurate detection of three Mycoplasma species associated with in bovine respiratory disease.

In 2022, cases of Monkeypox virus (MPXV) in California contained a mutation in the TNF receptor gene (GR2G) that rendered the virus undetectable using a widely adopted public health diagnostic qPCR assay. This underscored the need for a dual-target PCR approach and prompted validation of a second target by the BCCDC Public Health Laboratory. In addition to the GR2G target validated in the original qPCR assay (and duplexed with the endogenous target human β-globin (HBG)), GP113 (OPG128) was identified and validated using both clinical samples and MPXV DNA controls.

Background: The plague, caused by Yersinia pestis, remains a critical public health issue, particularly in endemic regions like Madagascar. Rapid and accurate detection of this pathogen is essential for effective outbreak management and timely intervention. Following the urban plague outbreak of 2017, a new molecular diagnostic algorithm was developed and introduced into routine use.

Mixed infections are a serious problem causing significant economic losses in the duck industry. Duck hepatitis A virus serotype 3 (DHAV-3), duck Tembusu virus (DTMUV) and novel duck reovirus (NDRV), belonging to the family Picornaviridae, Flaviviridae and Spinareoviridae, respectively, are important pathogens with similar symptoms in infected ducks. To detect and differentiate these viruses, this study developed a triplex real-time PCR assay targeting the VP1, E and σC genes of DHAV-3, DTMUV and NDRV, respectively.

Introduction: Porcine neurological disorders represent a prevalent clinical condition that leads to significant mortality and economic losses within the swine industry. Pseudorabies virus (PRV), porcine teschovirus 1 (PTV1), and (SS2) are key viral and bacterial pathogens implicated in the manifestation of neurological symptoms in pig populations. The overlapping clinical presentations and pathological alterations associated with these pathogens pose challenges in their clinical differentiation.

Background: Porcine circovirus disease (PCVD), caused by porcine circovirus (PCV), is a significant swine disease characterized by porcine dermatitis, nephrotic syndrome, and reproductive disorders in sows. Given the overlapping clinical presentations of PCV2, PCV3, and PCV4, a rapid and accurate method for their differential detection is essential.
Methods: In this study, specific primers and probes were designed based on the conserved regions of the genes of PCV2 and PCV4, as well as the gene of PCV3.
