We believe this is the first report of P. mastophorum infecting parsley in California. P. mastophorum has been reported on parsley only in southeastern Australia (Petkowski et al., 2013). In California, this species has been reported on celery (Vazquez et al., 1996.).
In this study, we developed a nested PCR and established a novel recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) assay for MiCV detection. Sensitivity analysis showed that the detection limit of nested PCR and RPA assay was 101 copies/reaction, and these methods were more sensitive than conventional PCR, which has a detection limit of 105 copies/reaction. The RPA assay had no cross-reactivity with

By combining Cas12a ssDNase activation with isothermal amplification, we create a method termed DNA Endonuclease Targeted CRISPR Trans Reporter (DETECTR), which achieves attomolar sensitivity for DNA detection.

The RPA gave quicker results in approximately 6 min in contrast to the qPCR that needed about 90 min to reach the same detection limit, taking only 2.7-3 min to determine Fno in clinical samples. Moreover, RPA was more tolerant to reaction inhibitors than qPCR when tested with field samples.
The analytical sensitivity of the assay was 102 copies for gB and gE genes. The dual real-time RPA demonstrated a 100% diagnostic agreement with the real-time PCR on 4 PRV strains and 37 clinical samples.
The assay performance on acute-phase high fever clinical samples collected from cattle with no vaccine against IBRV, which were suspected to be infected with IBRV, was validated by detecting 24 fecal, 36 blood, 38 nasal swab and 8 tissue specimens, and compared with SYBR Green I based real-time PCR.
Herein, the detection of mutations in PIK3CA gene, such as p.E545K, and p.H1047L, is presented. The main element was an oligonucleotide (dideoxycytidine functionalized at 3′-end) which matched with wild-type sequence in the target locus.

The assay was specific, as it did not amplify genomes from five other Mycobacterium and five pathogenic enteric bacteria. Then, 612 clinical samples (320 fecal and 292 serum) were assessed by RPA-LFD, qPCR and ELISA assays respectively, also the established RPA-LFD assay yielded 100% sensitivity, 97.63% specificity, and 98.44% concordance rate with the qPCR.
The result showed that the coincidence rate of BEFV LFD-RPA and real-time qPCR was 96.09% (123/128), which was higher than conventional RT-PCR. The RPA combined with LFD assay probably provides a rapid and sensitive alternative for diagnosis of BEFV infections outbreak.
The assay performance was evaluated by testing 76 clinical samples. PEDV RNA positive rate was 55.3% (42/76) by RT-RPA and 59.2% (45/76) by real-time RT-PCR. The diagnostic agreement between the two assays was 96.1% (73/76), and the R2 value of the two assays was 0.903 by linear regression analysis.
