Area of Science:

  • Foodborne virus detection
  • Molecular diagnostics
  • Shellfish safety

Context:

  • Rotavirus is a significant foodborne pathogen frequently contaminating shellfish.
  • Current Rotavirus detection methods like RT-PCR lack sensitivity due to low viral loads and inhibitors in shellfish.
  • Existing methods require lengthy detection times and are prone to contamination.

Purpose:

  • To develop a highly sensitive and rapid detection method for Rotavirus in shellfish.
  • To improve upon the limitations of conventional RT-PCR and ELISA for Rotavirus detection.
  • To optimize Rotavirus concentration techniques mimicking natural conditions for enhanced detection.

Summary:

  • A novel single-tube seminested RT-PCR method was developed and validated for Rotavirus detection in experimentally contaminated shellfish.

  • The developed method significantly enhances detection sensitivity by 1000-fold compared to ELISA and 10-fold compared to conventional RT-PCR.
  • Utilizing digestive tissues of shellfish as samples further increases detection ratio and sensitivity, while reducing contamination and detection time to 4.5 hours.

    • Impact:

    • Provides a more sensitive and efficient tool for monitoring Rotavirus contamination in shellfish.
    • Contributes to improved food safety and public health by enabling earlier and more accurate detection of foodborne viruses.
    • The optimized protocol offers a reduced detection time and lower contamination risk, making it suitable for routine surveillance.
