英文摘要:

      Objective To establish a method for the quantitative determination of Norovirus in shellfish samples by a dual fluorescent digital reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-ddPCR). Methods The annealing temperature and probe concentrations of RT-ddPCR experiment were optimized to establish a dual fluorescence digital PCR method for detection of Norovirus in shellfish, and the Norovirus in shellfish samples collected from Qinhuangdao from July of 2015 to 2017 were quantitatively detected. Results The linear range of RT-ddPCR for detection of Norovirus in shellfish was 5×104-5×100 copy/μL, and the limit of detection was 1.0 copy/20 μL reaction system. The total positive rate of Norovirus in shellfish samples from Qinhuangdao was 67%. The average concentration of GI virus was 8.70×102 copy/g digestive gland, and 1.04×103 copy/g digestive gland for GII type. Conclusion Compared with fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), digital PCR has obvious advantages in detecting shellfish Norovirus, which can improve the detection rate, and does not rely on standard materials for absolute quantification.
