Abstract:
Rapid and portable diagnostic technologies are essential for controlling infectious diseases. Here, we describe RAPID (Rapid Automated Portable Integrated Detection), a single-step, extraction-free CRISPR-Cas13d-based assay for sensitive and specific detection of porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) RNA. RAPID integrates isothermal recombinase polymerase amplification with EsCas13d-mediated collateral cleavage in a one-pot reaction, enabling sample-to-answer detection within 30 min. A brief room-temperature lysis step allows direct RNA release from unextracted samples, simplifying sample preparation and reducing equipment requirements. Lyophilized reagents enhance stability during refrigerated storage (≤4 °C) and facilitate simplified transportation using conventional cooling measures, thereby reducing reliance on strict cold-chain logistics. The assay operates optimally at 37 °C and remains functional under ambient (∼25 °C) conditions with reduced sensitivity, permitting instrument-free operation when temperature control is unavailable. Detection is achieved via in-tube fluorescence or lateral-flow readouts. Clinical validation using porcine samples showed complete concordance with RT-qPCR, achieving 100% sensitivity and specificity. RAPID provides a practical point-of-care diagnostic platform for on-farm surveillance and deployment in resource-limited settings.
