Background
PRRSV is an unfragmented single-stranded positive-strand RNA virus with a diameter of about 50-70 nm, a genome length of about 15kb containing 8 Open Reading Frames (ORFs), ORF1 encoding nonstructural proteins, and ORF2-ORF7 encoding structural proteins. The two long polypeptide chains encoded by ORF1a and ORF1b were cleaved to generate 14 non-structural proteins. ORFs 2 to 7 encode 8 structural proteins, including GP2, E, GP3, GP4, GP5a, GP5, M and N. The M protein is the most conserved protein in the arterivirus and has strong immunogenicity, so that the detection of the M protein gene can be used as important evidence that a sample contains PRRSV nucleic acid.
At present, the PRRSV epidemic in china is mainly a genotype 2 strain, which can be specifically divided into 4 lineages: lineage 1, lineage 3, lineage 5 (subline 5.1), and lineage 8 (subline 8.7). Of these, lineage 8 has been predominant in the epidemic strains, including the earliest CH-1a strain and the classical strain before 2006 as well as the HP-PRRSV strain that prevailed after 2006. Lineage 1 began to become prevalent after 2013, with the predominant NADC-like 30 strain, and the clinical detection rate increased year by year with HP-PRRSV of lineage 8 becoming the dominant circulating strain. Pedigree 3 is mainly distributed in southern areas of China, and the clinical detection rate is about 10%. Lineage 5 (BJ-4/VR 2332) was already established as early as 1996, and although no major epidemic was established in China, it was detected clinically. The prevalence trends of PRRS in pig farms in China are diversified due to different pedigrees of PRRSV, so that the seriousness and complexity of PRRS prevention and control in China are increased.
Currently, established methods for detecting PRRSV include virus isolation identification, virus antigen detection, and virus nucleic acid detection. The separation and identification test period of PRRSV is long, and the method is not suitable for rapid detection. The fluorescent antibody experiment is adopted to detect the PRRSV antigen, has the characteristics of rapidness and accuracy, but has insufficient sensitivity to a sample with low virus load and is easy to generate false negative results. The fluorescent PCR technology combines PCR and fluorescent detection, overcomes the defects of time consumption, easy pollution, electrophoresis detection after amplification and the like in the prior art, is applied to PRRSV nucleic acid detection, and primers and labeled probes adopted by the PRRSV fluorescent PCR method reported at present are mainly designed and prepared aiming at Nsp2, GP5 and N protein gene sequences, can detect PRRSV nucleic acids of a certain pedigree, two pedigrees or three pedigrees, but can not realize the detection of PRRSV samples of 4 pedigrees at the same time, namely the PRRSV nucleic acids of pedigrees 1, pedigrees 3, pedigrees 5 and pedigrees 8 realized by 1 pair of primers and 1 probe are not reported yet.
