Porcine parvovirus (PPV) is one of the important causes of pig reproductive diseases. The most prevalent methods for PPV authentication are the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and quantitative real-time PCR. However, these procedures have downsides, such as the fact that they take a long time and require expensive equipment. As a result, a rapid, visible, and economical clinical diagnostic strategy to detect PPV is necessary. In this study, three pairs of crRNA primers were designed to recognize the VP2 gene, and an ERA-CRISPR/Cas12a system for PPV detection was successfully developed. The approach involved isothermal detection at 37°C, and the method can be used for visual inspection. The detection limit of the ERA-CRISPR/Cas12a system was 3.75 × 102 copies/μL, and no cross reactions with other porcine viruses were found. In view of the preceding, a rapid, visible, and low-cost nucleic acid testing approach for PPV has been developed using the ERA-CRISPR/Cas12a system.
