Abstract

A rapid and sensitive AHPND-RPA assay was developed for the specific detection of the AHPND-causing Vibrio owensii. The AHPND-RPA detected as few as 2 copies per reaction in 9.02 ± 0.66 min at 39 °C, and showed 100% positive predictive value and negative predictive value for AHPND diagnosis.

Keywords: Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease; Diagnosis; RPA; Recombinase polymerase amplification; Vibrio owensii.
