Comparative evaluation of Cryptosporidium infection in malnourished and well-nourished children: Parasitic infections are affected by the interaction of nutritional status and socio-demographic characteristics

Cryptosporidium, as a small protozoan parasite, is a leading cause of persistent diarrhea in children in developing countries and has both a short and long-term impact on the growth of children. In the present study, Cryptosporidium infection was compared in malnourished and well-nourished children by modified acid-fast staining, nested-polymerase chain reaction (nested-PCR) and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) methods. As a case-control study, Cryptosporidium infection in 94 malnourished children was evaluated and compared with those of 188 age and gender-matched well-nourished children. Oocysts of Cryptosporidium were detected by modified acid-fast staining method. The extracted DNA was amplified by nested-PCR and LAMP techniques. In addition, positive amplicons were directly sequenced for phylogenetic analysis. Cryptosporidium oocysts were found in the stools of two (2.12 %) children who were hospitalized and had diarrhea by nested-PCR while three isolates (3.2 %) were found by LAMP. Cryptosporidium-positive children were more malnourished compared to those who were negative for Cryptosporidium infection but this important finding was not statistically significant. C. parvum was the main species of Cryptosporidium detected in malnourished children in northwest Iran. LAMP can be considered as a sensitive field monitoring assay in patients with low parasite burden. Nutritional status and socio-demographic factors may have interactive effects on the incidence and severity of parasitic diseases.

Development of a loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay for rapid, sensitive and specific detection of a Campylobacter jejuni clone

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay is a simple, rapid and specific detection method and has been used for detection and identification of different Campylobacter species. In this study, we develop a LAMP assay specific for detection of a particular clone (clone SA) of Campylobacter jejuni, associated with the vast majority of recent sheep abortions in the U.S. Using a set of specific primers for C. jejuni IA3902 (a clone SA isolate) and genomic DNA or boiled cell extract as template, the target DNA was amplified at 63 °C for 50 min in a water bath. A positive reaction was identified visually as white precipitate or fluorescence under UV, and confirmed by gel electrophoresis. Detection limit of the assay was comparable to that of conventional PCR. The LAMP was shown to be specific for detection of clone SA when tested on a number of C. jejuni strains of different genetic backgrounds. Applicability of the LAMP assay for specific detection of clone SA was demonstrated in animal tissues experimentally infected with IA3902 or genetically diverse C. jejuni strains. Since clone SA is the predominant cause of sheep abortions in the U.S. and is a zoonotic pathogen, the LAMP assay may be a valuable detection tool in future epidemiological studies.

The present study developed and validated a species-specific loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for the rapid detection and discrimination of two benign bovine Theileria species – T. sergenti and T. sinensis. The LAMP assay is inexpensive and easy to perform and involves a rapid reaction-the amplification can be performed in 55 min or 50 min under isothermal conditions of 61 °C or 63 °C, respectively, by employing a set of four species-specific primer mixtures. The results can be checked using agarose gels. The optimal assay conditions, under which the assay exhibited with no cross-reaction with other closely related tick-borne parasites (T. annulata, Babesia bovis, B. bigemina, B. major, B. ovata, B. U. sp., Anaplasma marginale) or between the two Theileria species of interest, was established. The assay is approximately 10-fold more sensitive than the conventional specific PCR assay. The LAMP assay was validated using DNA from 6 standard stocks in the laboratory and was evaluated for its diagnostic utility using blood samples collected from experimentally and naturally infection cattle or yaks in China. These findings indicate that this Theileria species-specific LAMP assay may have potential clinical applications for the detection and differentiation of two benign bovine Theileria species – T. sergenti and T. sinensis, especially in endemic countries.

In the present study, the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay was developed to amplify the fragments of the O9 Salmonella-specific insertion element and evaluated in the laboratory for its potential use in a field situation, such as poultry farms. Among the bacteria tested, a positive reaction was observed only for 128 strains of 6 serovars of the O9 group Salmonella, such as Enteritidis (SE) and Pullorum. The detection limit of the LAMP assay was 10(3)CFU/ml, which was more sensitive than that of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay with the same target gene (10(6)CFU/ml). The final results were obtained within 30 min for the LAMP assay, while the PCR assay needed a total of 120 min. When the LAMP assay was applied to the enrichment broth mixed with cecal dropping samples either spiked with SE in vitro or excreted by SE-inoculated hens, the results were comparable to those of the conventional plating method including 2 separate enrichments. In conclusion, the LAMP assay developed in the present study is an effective method for the specific detection of the O9 group Salmonella serovars, including SE.

Rapid diagnosis of duck plagues virus infection by loop-mediated isothermal amplification

Duck virus enteritis is a serious disease among farmed and free-living ducks (Anatidae) and a constant threat to the commercial duck industry in China. In this study, a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay was developed to rapidly detect and diagnose duck plague virus (DPV) in both farmed and wild waterfowl, and compared with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method and real-time PCR method in accuracy, sensitivity and specificity. A set of four specific primers was successfully designed to recognize six distinct genomic sequences of UL6 protein from DPV, including one forward inner primer, one back inner primer and two outer primers. The optimum reaction temperature and time were verified to be 61.5 °C and 60 min, respectively. Comparative experiments showed that LAMP assay was a simple, rapid, accurate, sensitive and specific method for detecting DPV, and was superior to PCR assay in sensitivity and specificity for DNA amplification. In addition, challenge tests indicated the newly developed LAMP method was more sensitive for the diagnosis of DPV infection than virus isolation and PCR. LAMP assay would be a good alternative method for on-farm disease diagnosis.
