Abstract:

In order to establish an assay for detecting porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) and pseudorabies virus (PRV),two pairs of primers were designed basing on the M gene of PEDV and gE gene of PRV,respectively.The total RNA of standard PEDV and PRV strains were used as templates to establish the duplex RT-PCR assay.The specificity,sensitivity,repetition and clinic detection of the established assay were tested.The result revealed that the threshold of duplex RT-PCR was 10 TCID50/mL of PEDV and PRV,and no products were amplified from the cell or the nucleic acid of other 7 kinds of pathogenic viral or bacterial microorganism.The detection results for 26 clinical suspicious PEDV or PRV infected pigs were consistent with the results tested by sequencing.This study suggested that the duplex RT-PCR method was highly specific,repeatable and sensitive,and was suitable for clinic rapid differential diagnosis of PEDV and PRV.

Key words: porcine epidemic diarrhea virus; pseudorabies virus; duplex RT-PCR
