Abstract: A series of specific primers targeting the 6 distinct sequences of M gene were designed based on the sequences of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) GP6 (M) gene available in GenBank. A reverse transcriptase loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) for the rapid detection of PRRSV was developed by using the specific primers. The results showed that the detective sensitivity of RT-LAMP method was higher than that of the two-step RT-PCR. The amplification could be accomplished within 1 h with good specificity and high sensitivity, while no product was generated with porcine circovirus, classic swine fever virus and pseudorabies virus. With the addition of SYBR GREENⅠ, the PT-LAMP of PRRSV could be detected by naked eyes.

Key words: porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus; M gene; reverse transcriptase loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP)
