Australia: LAMP assay for detection of clinically virulent aprV2 Dichelobacter nodosus in-field

  • June 04, 2020

Evaluation of loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for detection of aprV2  positive Dichelobacter nodosus in-field by secondary users

Dichelobacter nodosus (D. nodosus) is a primary causative agent of footrot in sheep. Footrot results in painful lesions that lead to major welfare and economic concerns. Current testing involves agglutination tests that can take up to 3-4 weeks for results, allowing for rapid infectious spread throughout the farm. Molecular diagnostic tests using RT-qPCR have been developed to decrease the turn over time. Despite this, they still require samples to be sent to a specialised laboratory. In this study, a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay was developed to determine if sheep were infected with the clinically virulent aprV2 strain. The LAMP assay was tested for use in-field by non-technical personnel and compared to the performance of the gold standard RT-qPCR diagnostic assay, performed on the Mic qPCR Cycler. Two secondary users were trained in the use of the LAMP assay, before carrying out in-field testing on several locations. The data shows a 60% sensitivity and 100% specificity, with 46/75 rtPCR aprV2 positive samples identified in-field by LAMP and secondary users. This is in comparison to 89% sensitivity and 97% specificity under ideal conditions, showing that quality control of reagents and contamination being a large aspect in assay quality. With additional training and improved transport conditions of reagents, the in-field LAMP assay can allow management of footrot in real time by non-technical personnel. This would lead to early treatment and reduced spread on the farm.
