Abstract
Gosling plague caused by goose parvovirus (GPV), a highly infectious septic disease with high mortality, has caused substantial loss in the waterfowl industry. A method for the rapid detection of GPV is needed. In this study, we isolated the virus strain of GPV in May 2020 and applied it to the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay. We designed five sets of primers for the goose parvovirus VP3 gene by LAMP. The GV-1 primer set was selected to detect GPV sensitively and rapidly. LAMP was more sensitive compared to PCR. In addition, the LAMP method could complete detection within 60 min which was faster than the PCR assay. The LAMP provided a convenient and effective experimental method for detection of GPV for inspection and quarantine departments and health care units in China, and it is expected to become a simple and routine detection method, especially suitable for goose farms.
