Abstract: A one-step reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay for detecting novel duck reovirus (NDRV) was established with 4 primers based on 6 conserved positions of the S3 gene. The process of assay was completed by using Bst DNA within 45 min at constant 63℃. RT-LAMP assay had solid specificity because no amplification was found with the samples of 6 other common duck diseases. The minimum detection limit of the RT-LAMP assay was 0.1 pg of viral RNA, which was 100 times of RT-PCR. The results of clinical application showed that the coincidence rate between the assay and the method of virus isolation and identification was 98%, and the requirement of instrument for the assay was relatively low. Therefore, the assay is a potential useful technique for NDRV detection in the field.
