Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a zoonotic pathogen spreading worldwide. Pig was known as its first and main animal reservoir. In China, pork consumption is very large and the risk of potential HEV contamination should not be underestimated. The present study aims to develop a quantitative real-time reverse transcription combining recombinase polymerase amplification assay (RT-qRPA) for the rapid detection of HEV RNA presence in raw pork liver on the Jinzhou markets in China. Methods: the specific primers and probes for RT-qRPA assay were designed targeting the ORF2/3 conserved region in genotype 4 swine HEV isolate (accession no. DQ279091.2) according to the TwistDx manual instructions. The specificity, sensitivity and reproducibility evaluations of the RT-qRPA method were subsequently conducted in assessing agreement with the standard RT-qPCR method. Results: the qRPA method step exhibited the obvious time-saving advantage which worked under the isothermal condition at 39 °C within about 30 min to complete the run while the compared standard qPCR method in the same cycle took almost 60 min to do. Both methods could exclusively detect the HEV genome equivalents from the quantified HEV-VLPs spiked samples. And both methods shared the same limit of detection (LOD) that was estimated at 1.25 × 103 genome equivalents copies/g spiked sample by the probit analysis. The recovery rate of HEV-VLPs reached a range of 9.56-14.65% by the RT-qRPA method which was higher than that of 1.34-2.34% by the standard RT-qPCR method. The detected HEV RNA positive rate in the field was 1.8% (1 out of 55) by both methods under Cohen's kappa statistic accessing with perfect agreement (κ = 1.00, p < 0.0005). The viral load in positive sample detected by the RT-qRPA method was estimated at 2.2125 × 105 genome copies/g pork liver sample. Conclusions, the present reported RT-qRPA method mainly targeting genotype 4 HEV is a rapid and reliable method. Its time-saving quality offers a promising for the development of a portable tool used in the routine monitoring of HEV contamination in the field.
