Abstract:

Hemotropic mycoplasma(HM) resides on the surface of red blood cells and bone marrow of pigs, causing infectious anemia and harm to the pig production. In recent years, three HMs have been found in China, including Mycoplasma suis(M. suis), M. parvum and Candidate Mycoplasma hemosuis(CMh). M. parvum is the predominant hemoplasma strain of the pig populations in Zhejiang and Hainan Province. Currently, there was only M. suis serum antibody detection method was reported. According to the sequence of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) gene of M. parvum ZJ9330 strain, a 404 bp partial fragment was amplified and expressed in E. coli Transetta DE3. The 15 ku truncated protein mp-tGAPDH was purified. Western-blot showed that mp-tGAPDH had higher reactivity with mouse anti mp-tGAPDH serum. The mp-tGAPDH applied as coating antigen, an indirect ELISA method for detecting M. parvum antibody in swine serum was established. The indirect ELISA using mp-tGAPDH exhibited good specificity and no cross-reactivity with porcine circovirus, classical swine fever, pseudorabies, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome and Toxoplasma gondii positive serum. Intra-and inter-assay variability was less than 18.4%, showing a high degree of repeatability. The antibody positive rate of M. parvum was 36.69% (91/248) in 248 detected serum samples from 5 pig farms in Zhejiang Province by ELISA. The results showed that indirect ELISA using mp-tGAPDH provides a rapid and simple serological diagnostic tool for the detection of antibodies against M. parvum.
