Rabbit hemorrhagic disease is a highly contagious and acute fatal disease caused by rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV). The first outbreak of RHDV2 in 2020 has posed a serious threat to the rabbit breeding industry in China. An effective and specific detection strategy for RHDV GI.1 (RHDV1) and GI.2 (RHDV2) is urgently needed. In this study, we established a reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP)-CRISPR/Cas12a-based dual readout portable detection platform. The platform showed excellent specificity to identify RHDV1 and RHDV2 strains and no cross-reaction with other prevalent pathogens of rabbit. The detection limit for RHDV1 and RHDV2 by RT-LAMP-CRISPR/Cas12a could reach 10 copies/μl of the VP60 gene per reaction. Furthermore, 74 clinical samples were detected for both RHDV1 and RHDV2. RT-LAMP-CRISPR/Cas12a-based dual readout portable detection platform showed 25.68% (19/74) RHDV1-positive samples, 43.24% (32/74) RHDV2-positive samples, and 8.11% (6/74) RHDV1/RHDV2 double positive samples, respectively. The coincidence rates of detection RHDV1 and RHDV2 between RT-LAMP-CRISPR/Cas12a and quantitative real-time-polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) were both 97.30%. RT-LAMP-CRISPR/Cas12a showed higher sensitivity and detection rate compared with qPCR. Moreover, the results were visible to the naked eye within 1.5 h combined with lateral flow strips (LFSs) and visual fluorescence. The RT-LAMP-CRISPR/Cas12a portable platform has the advantages of high sensitivity, specificity, fast, low equipment requirements, which can be used in clinical practice in rural areas and resource-limited settings.

Rabbit coccidiosis and rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD) pose major threats to the rabbit industry, causing significant economic losses. Developing a multivalent vaccine to concurrently protect rabbits against Eimeria and RHDV infections would provide dual protection through a single immunization protocol. Here, we utilized a precocious line of E.

Competition and indirect ELISAs are currently being used to monitor rabbit haemorrhagic disease viruses (RHDV1 and RHDV2) in rabbits worldwide. Temporal changes in the sensitivity (Se) and specificity (Sp) of RHDV1 competition-ELISA (cELISA1), RHDV2 competition-ELISA (cELISA2), and RHDV1 Immunoglobulin G (IgG1) ELISA, were investigated using Bayesian Latent Class models (BCLM) in the Australian wild rabbit population where both viruses circulate simultaneously and a long-term serological dataset exists. When cELISA1 was compared to IgG1 ELISA, the Se of cELISA1 improved while the Sp of IgG1 ELISA declined over the 2011-21.

The genus of the family contains some of the most virulent vertebrate viruses known. Lagoviruses infect leporids, such as rabbits, hares and cottontails. Highly pathogenic viruses such as (RHDV1) cause a fulminant hepatitis that typically leads to disseminated intravascular coagulation within 24-72 h of infection, killing over 95 % of susceptible animals.

Following the arrival of rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus 2 (RHDV2) in Australia, average rabbit population abundances were reduced by 60% between 2014 and 2018 based on monitoring data acquired from 18 sites across Australia. During this period, as the seropositivity to RHDV2 increased, concurrent decreases were observed in the seroprevalence of both the previously circulating RHDV1 and RCVA, a benign endemic rabbit calicivirus. However, the detection of substantial RHDV1 seropositivity in juvenile rabbits suggested that infections were continuing to occur, ruling out the rapid extinction of this variant.
