Porcine
deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) is a major cause of diarrhea and
diarrhea-related deaths among piglets and results in massive losses
to the overall porcine industry. The clinical manifestations of porcine
diarrhea brought on by the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV),
porcine transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), and PDCoV are
oddly similar to each other. Hence, the identification of different
pathogens through molecular diagnosis and serological techniques is
crucial. Three novel detection methods for identifying PDCoV have
been developed utilizing recombinase-aided amplification (RAA) or
reverse transcription recombinase-aided amplification (RT-RAA) in
conjunction with Pyrococcus furiosus Argonaute (PfAgo): RAA-PfAgo, one-pot RT-RAA-PfAgo, and one-pot
RT-RAA-PfAgo-LFD. The indicated approaches have a detection limit
of around 60 copies/μL of PDCoV and do not cross-react with
other viruses including PEDV, TGEV, RVA, PRV, PCV2, or PCV3. The applicability
of one-pot RT-RAA-PfAgo and one-pot RT-RAA-PfAgo-LFD were examined
using clinical samples and showed a positive rate comparable to the
qPCR method. These techniques offer cutting-edge technical assistance
for identifying, stopping, and managing PDCoV.
