  • Human Aichivirus A1 (HuAiV-A1) is a waterborne human pathogenic virus classified as Picornaviridae and Kobuvirus. In this study, we developed a method that can detect about 35 minutes faster with the same detection sensitivity level than the previously reported HuAiV-A1 diagnostic RT-PCR primer. The RT-PCR primer sets developed in this study are capable of detecting HuAiV-A1 at a level of about 100 ag and formed 563 bp amplification product. In addition, the RT-nested PCR method was able to amplify 410 bp using the RT-PCR product as a template. The detection sensitivity of our method was 10 times higher than the method with the highest detection sensitivity to date. Therefore, the detection method of HuAiV-A1 developed in this study is expected to be used in the water environment in which a small amount of virus exists. Also, this detection method is expected to be used as HuAiV-A1 diagnostic technology in both clinical and non-clinical field.
