Brucellosis, a widespread zoonosis, requires reliable diagnostic tools capable of differentiating infected from vaccinated animals (DIVA), particularly with the emergence of DIVA-compatible vaccines such as Brucella abortus A19-ΔVirB12. VirB12, a key immunogenic component of the type IV secretion system, represents a promising serological target for this purpose. In this study, a VirB12-based indirect ELISA (iELISA) was developed and systematically evaluated for the detection of specific antibodies Recombinant VirB12 protein was successfully expressed in Escherichia coli, purified, and used to immunize mice, generating high-titer polyclonal antiserum (1:204,800). The established iELISA demonstrated excellent repeatability (intra- and inter-assay CVs <10%), high analytical sensitivity (detection up to a 1:3200 serum dilution), and high specificity with no cross-reactivity against other common bacterial pathogens. Clinical validation was performed using 244 bovine serum samples, including 37 Brucella-positive, 20 A19-ΔVirB12-vaccinated, and 187 negative samples.The iELISA exhibited superior overall concordance (98.36%) compared with the Rose Bengal Test (RBT, 90.98%) and showed a higher overall accuracy than a commercial cELISA (91.80%). Notably, although the commercial cELISA demonstrated high sensitivity for detecting positive sera, it failed to distinguish vaccinated from infected animals (0% identification rate), whereas the iELISA correctly identified 90.00% of vaccinated sera, highlighting its clear advantage in DIVA-based diagnostics. Collectively, this assay represents a practical, reliable, and DIVA-compatible diagnostic tool with strong potential for large-scale brucellosis surveillance and control programs.
(1) Background: Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is an economically important pathogen affecting cattle worldwide. The genetic diversity of BVDV-2 in buffalo remains poorly understood. This study aimed to elucidate the genomic and antigenic features of GX24, the first BVDV-2b isolate identified from dairy buffalo in China. (2) Methods: The virus was isolated from a rectal swab through three blind passages in MDBK cells and identified through immunofluorescence and RT-PCR. The near-complete genome was sequenced using the Illumina platform and subjected to phylogenetic and recombination analysis. B-cell epitopes and glycosylation sites were predicted using BepiPred-3.0, Epitope1D, DiscoTope-3.0, NetNGlyc-1.0, and NetO-Glyc-4.0. (3) Results: The 12,267-nt GX24 genome (GenBank: PX682047) was classified as BVDV-2b. Recombination analysis detected a putative recombination signal within the NS5A gene involving Chinese BVDV-2b and Italian BVDV-2a strains. Integrative analyses predicted conserved linear and conformational epitope clusters in the N- and C-terminal regions of the E2 protein. Spatial analysis indicated that several epitope residues may be masked by glycan shielding. (4) Conclusions: This study provides the first genomic evidence of a BVDV-2b isolate from dairy buffalo in China, suggesting that BVDV-2b may be present in this population. The putative recombination signal and antigenic characteristics offer valuable insights for the development of diagnostics and vaccine design in the future.
Brucella abortus is a primary etiological agent of bovine brucellosis, a zoonosis posing significant threats to livestock industries and public health. The recently developed A19-∆VirB12 vaccine strain, which carries a deletion of the VirB12 gene, complicates serological differentiation from wild-type infections. This study aimed to establish a rapid, accurate, and economical detection strategy targeting the VirB12 gene to distinguish the A19-∆VirB12 vaccine strain from wild-type B. abortus. We developed a recombinase-aided amplification (RAA) coupled with CRISPR/Cas12a-based detection method. Following optimization, primer pair C and crRNA1 were selected as optimal components, with 150 nM each of Cas12a protein and crRNA identified as the ideal concentrations in a 50 μL reaction. The assay demonstrated high analytical specificity, showing no cross-reactivity with six non-target bacterial pathogens. Sensitivity analysis established a limit of detection of 102 copies per reaction. When evaluated on 52 clinical samples, the RAA-CRISPR assay detected two positive samples, outperforming conventional PCR which detected only one. Crucially, the method yielded no positive signal when challenged with the A19-∆VirB12 gene-deficient vaccine strain, while successfully detecting wild-type strains A19 and S2, confirming its discriminatory capability. The entire workflow, comprising RAA amplification (30 min) and CRISPR-mediated cleavage (20 min), can be completed within one hour, with results visualized via fluorescence or lateral flow strips. This study successfully establishes a rapid, sensitive, and specific diagnostic method for distinguishing the A19-∆VirB12 vaccine strain from wild-type B. abortus, offering a practical tool for field surveillance and eradication programs.
This study isolated and identified two novel Chinese bovine enterovirus (BEV) strains, designated as BEV-GX1901 and BEV-GX1902, from newly transported cattle with the diarrheal feces symptom. We also determined their complete genome sequences (7408 and 7405 nucleotides, respectively) and found both strains have a genome organization analogous to that of picornaviruses. To better understand these two novel strains, a detailed analysis was applied to both strains, including the time of the cytopathic effect (CPE) production, TCID50 measurement, trypsin sensitivity test, ether sensitivity test, chioroform sensitivity test, acid and alkali resistance test, and heat resistance test. Our results showed that these two strains are different in physical and chemical properties. Our study also characterized that BEV-GX1901 and BEV-GX1902, both belonging to the BEV-E4 subtype, were closely related to the Australian strains K2577 and SL305, and the Japanese strain IS1 based on their genome sequences and VP1 region characterizations. It is speculated that this may be related to cattle trade and transportation. Additionally, the gene-by-gene or amino acid-by-amino acid comparison of the two strains found they have differences between their 5'UTR, 3'UTR, VP2, VP1, 2A, 3C, and 3D regions. Our results provide an important update of the virus's presence in China and contribute to a better understanding of the distribution and characterization of BEVs in cattle.
Bovine enterovirus (BEV) is a significant pathogen affecting bovine intestinal health, posing challenges to cattle production and public health. Existing detection methods, such as RT-PCR, RT-qPCR, and LAMP, are time-consuming and dependent on specialized laboratory facilities, highlighting the need for rapid and field-deployable diagnostic tools. In this study, we developed a real-time reverse transcription recombinase-aided amplification (RT-RAA) assay designed for BEV detection, capable of delivering results within 20 min at 39℃. The real-time RT-RAA assay showed no cross-reactivity to other eight pathogens, including BCoV, BVDV, BKV, BRV, BAstV, STEC, FMDV, and PEV. The sensitivity assay revealed that the real-time RT-RAA method could reliably detect a minimum plasmid concentration of 5.50 × 10 ¹ copies/reaction. Clinical validation conducted with 780 field samples revealed performance comparable to those of conventional RT-PCR and RT-qPCR methods, achieving a positivity rate of 23.59 %. The RT-RAA method operates at low temperatures, requires minimal instrumentation, and reduces technical demands, making it ideal for resource-limited settings. Its portability, cost-effectiveness, and robustness position it as a transformative tool for BEV surveillance, enhancing outbreak control, livestock health management, and food safety.
Bovine coronavirus (BCoV) is a notable pathogen affecting newly born calves and adult cattle, increasing mortality rates among calves and reducing productivity in meat and dairy industries, thereby causing substantial economic losses. Current primary laboratory methods for detecting BCoV include RT-PCR assay, real-time RT-PCR assay, and ELISA. However, these methods are time-consuming, require specialized technicians, and necessitate a laboratory environment. Consequently, there is an urgent need for a rapid, sensitive, and easy to use diagnostic method to detect BCoV. This study introduces two innovative protocols: the real-time fluorescent reverse transcription recombinase-aided amplification (RT-RAA) and the test strip RT-RAA (RT-RAA-LFD). Our results indicate that real-time RT-RAA can complete the reaction in 20 min at 39°C, while RT-RAA-LFD can achieve detection in just 17.5 min at 35°C. These new approaches offer higher specificity, with no cross-reactivity to other viruses, and significantly enhanced sensitivity compared to existing methods (1.46 × 101 and 1.46 × 102 copies/μL, respectively). We evaluated the performance of our methods using 242 clinical samples, and compared with RT-PCR and RT-qPCR. Both real-time RT-RAA and RT-qPCR yielded similar detection rates, the detection rate of RT-RAA-LFD was better than RT-PCR. The RT-RAA methods developed in this study effectively overcome the limitations associated with both RT-PCR and RT-qPCR by offering advantages including a single, low reaction temperature that allows for room temperature operation. Both methods boast shorter reaction times, simpler and more portable instrumentation, as well as reduced technical and environmental demands. Generally, both RT-RAA methods established in this study offer new avenues for the rapid detection of BCoV, contributing significantly to the monitoring, prevention, and control of the disease in global bovine industry.

Background Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae is a critical pathogen that causes respiratory diseases that threaten Caprini health and cause economic damage. A genome-wide study of M. ovipneumoniae will help understand the pathogenic characteristics of this microorganism. Results Toxicological pathology and whole-genome sequencing of nine M. ovipneumoniae strains isolated from goats were performed using an epidemiological survey. These strains exhibited anterior ventral lung consolidation, typical of bronchopneumonia in goats. Average nucleotide identity and phylogenetic analysis based on whole-genome sequences showed that all M. ovipneumoniae strains clustered into two clades, largely in accordance with their geographical origins. The pan-genome of the 23 M. ovipneumoniae strains contained 5,596 genes, including 385 core, 210 soft core, and 5,001 accessory genes. Among these genes, two protein-coding genes were annotated as cilium adhesion and eight as paralog surface adhesins when annotated to VFDB, and no antibiotic resistance-related genes were predicted. Additionally, 23 strains carried glucosidase-related genes ( ycjT and group_1595 ) and glucosidase-related genes ( atpD_2 ), indicating that M. ovipneumoniae possesses a wide range of glycoside hydrolase activities. Conclusions The population structure and genomic features identified in this study will facilitate further investigations into the pathogenesis of M. ovipneumoniae and lay the foundation for the development of preventive and therapeutic methods.

为探究感染大片形吸虫后不同时间水牛脊髓全基因组DNA甲基化的类型、占比及其感染后差异甲基化区域(DMR)涉及的功能及信号通路,本研究将大片形吸虫囊蚴经口灌胃感染8~10月龄水牛,分别于感染后3d(J01)、10d(J02)、28 d(J03)、42 d(J04)、70 d(J05)和98 d(J06)采集水牛脊髓,利用全基因组重亚硫酸盐测序技术(WGBS)对基因组DNA的甲基化测序,测序数据经过滤筛选后,采用Bismark软件分析各组水牛脊髓基因组DNA甲基化的类型及其占比(某种类型甲基化序列在该组全部可用测序序列中的占比以及该组某种C类型甲基化的数量在全部C类型甲基化中的占比),并采用weight methylation level对各组水牛脊髓基因组DNA 7个功能区域的甲基化进行聚类分析.WGBS测序结果经过滤后显示,平均每组测序长度为100.29 Gp,Q20%(质量值≥20的碱基占总碱基数的百分比)和Q30%分别达到95%和85%以上,6组样品亚硫酸盐(BS)转化率均大于99%,表明WGBS测序结果准确可靠;各组样品DNA甲基化类型和占比的分析及统计结果显示,J01~J06组基因组分别包含CG、CHG、CHH 3种类型的甲基化(mCG、mCH及mCHH),且以mCG类型占比最多(63.1%~71.7%,80.11%~85.73%),mCHH类型(0.9%~1.2%,11.27%~15.18%)及mCHG类型均较少(1.0%~1.2%,3.00%~4.84%);聚类分析结果显示,上述3种类型的甲基化主要分布在水牛脊髓基因组第1内含子和内部内含子.上述结果表明,感染大片形吸虫后水牛脊髓基因组DNA甲基化类型以mCG为主,且第1内含子和内部内含子的甲基化可能影响该两个区域相关基因的正常表达.利用R软件包分析各组水牛脊髓基因组之间是否存在DMR,并采用基于模型的亚硫酸氢盐测序数据分析(MOABS)筛选并统计各组之间的DMR及DMR的数量;采用DAVID软件分析各组DMR在其相应基因组中的分布;采用R语言对各组的DMR进行GO功能注释和KEEG富集分析.DMR的筛选及统计结果显示,各基因组间均存在DMR,且各组间均以CG类型DMR数量的差异最大.其中,J06与J01(7 134个)、J06与J02(7 174个)、J06与J03(6 743个)、J04与J03组(11 611个)之间DMR数量的差异最大,且96.42%~99.04%的DMR分布在基因组基因间区,0.96%~3.59%的DMR分布在基因组启动子区.DMR的GO功能分析显示,各组间CG类型DMR的GO功能注释结果基本相似,主要富集在细胞进程、生物调节、代谢过程、结合及催化活性等生物学过程;KEGG分析结果显示,各组间尤其是在感染后期(J06组和J04组)DMR主要富集在癌症及PI3K-Akt等信号通路中.上述结果表明,在大片吸虫慢性感染的过程中,尤其在感染中后期对水牛脊髓基因组基因间区相关基因的表达有影响,且甲基化的DNA可能主要通过以上两个信号通路影响相关基因的表达,进而影响水牛脊髓的各种生物学功能,最终引起水牛中枢神经系统疾病.这在一定程度阐释了寄生在肝脏的片形吸虫影响宿主中枢神经系统的机制.本研究为深入探究大片形吸虫感染对水牛神经系统的影响机制奠定了实验基础.

Background Extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by helminths play an important role in parasite-host communication. However, little is known about the characteristics and contents of the EVs of Fasciola gigantica, a parasitic flatworm that causes tropical fascioliasis. A better understanding of EVs released by F. gigantica will help elucidate the mechanism of F. gigantica-host interaction and facilitate the search for new vaccine candidates for the control and treatment of fascioliasis.Methods Two different populations of EVs (15k EVs and 100k EVs) were purified from adult F. gigantica culture media by ultracentrifugation. The morphology and size of the purified EVs were determined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and by the Zetasizer Nano ZSP high performance particle characterization system. With the aim of identifying diagnostic markers or potential vaccine candidates, proteins within the isolated 100k EVs were analyzed using mass spectrometry-based proteomics (LC-MS/MS). Mice were then vaccinated with excretory/secretory products (ESPs; depleted of EVs), 15k EVs, 100k EVs and recombinant F. gigantica heat shock protein 70 (rFg-HSP70) combined with alum adjuvant followed by challenge infection with F. gigantica metacercariae. Fluke recovery and antibody levels were used as measures of vaccine protection.Results TEM analysis and nanoparticle tracking analysis indicated the successful isolation of two subpopulations of EVs (15k EVs and 100k EVs) from adult F. gigantica culture supernatants using differential centrifugation. A total of 755 proteins were identified in the 100k EVs. Exosome biogenesis or vesicle trafficking proteins, ESCRT (endosomal sorting complex required for transport) pathway proteins and exosome markers, heat shock proteins and 14-3-3 proteins were identified in the 100k EVs. These results indicate that the isolated 100k EVs were exosome-like vesicles. The functions of the identified proteins may be associated with immune regulation, immune evasion and virulence. Mice immunized with F. gigantica ESPs, 15k EVs, 100k EVs and rFg-HSP70 exhibited a reduction in fluke burden of 67.90%, 60.38%, 37.73% and 56.6%, respectively, compared with the adjuvant control group. The vaccination of mice with F. gigantica 100k EVs, 15k EVs, ESP and rFg-HSP70 induced significant production of specific immunoglobulins in sera, namely IgG, IgG1 and IgG2a.Conclusion The results of this study suggest that proteins within the exosome-like vesicles of F. gigantica have immunomodulatory, immune evasion and virulence functions. This knowledge may lead to new strategies for immunotherapy, vaccination and the diagnosis of fascioliasis.
