[Objective] To develop a rapid nucleic acid detection method for Marburg virus based on clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/associated protein 13a (CRISPR/Cas13a). [Methods] According to the conserved region of Marburg virus nucleoprotein (NP) gene, specific primers for reverse transcription recombinase-aided amplification (RT-RAA) and CRISPR RNA (crRNA) were designed and synthesized. RT-RAA was employed to amplify the target sequence. The amplification products were detected by the CRISPR-Cas13a system, and the results were interpreted by easy-readout and sensitive enhanced (ERASE) lateral flow test strips. Finally, the national reference panel was used to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the new method. [Results] A set of high-efficiency RT-RAA primers and crRNA targeting Marburg virus NP gene was screened, on the basis of which a CRISPR-ERASE method for the detection of Marburg virus was developed. The target nucleic acid with a concentration of 1 copy/μL could be detected within 1 h, and there was no cross-reaction with other several pathogens. [Conclusion] In this study, a rapid, simple, highly sensitive, and specific nucleic acid detection method for Marburg virus was developed based on CRISPR/Cas13a.
