Abstract: Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) were one of the worldwide causative agent for the disease of pigs and caused heavy losses every year.In this study, a TaqMan-LNA based Real-time RT-PCR assay and a reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay were established.The detection limits were 102 and 101 copies/μL for Real-time RT-PCR and RT-LAMP assay, respectively. Two methods both showed good specificity.Futhermore both methods were analysed with clinical samples, and they exhibited high sensitivity and specificity.The Real-time RT-PCR and RT-LAMP assays would provide useful tools for the detection of PRRSV.

Key words: porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus; Real-time RT-PCR; reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplication
