However, current diagnostic methods are difficult to deploy in the field, as they generally require specialized laboratory infrastructure and trained personnel. Here, we present a novel dual-signal detection platform that combines reverse transcription recombinase polymerase amplification (RT-RPA) with CRISPR\/Cas12a technology for rapid, on-site EA H1N1 detection. We established an integrated one-tube assay by designing and optimizing RT-RPA primers targeting a conserved region of the hemagglutinin (HA) gene, together with engineered CRISPR\/Cas12a guide RNAs exhibiting high specificity. The platform incorporates two complementary readout modes: real-time fluorescence monitoring and visual colorimetric detection using a smartphone. The assay shows excellent analytical specificity, with no cross-reactivity observed against other swine influenza virus subtypes or common swine pathogens, (including CSFV, PRRSV, PEDV, PCV, TGEV, and RV). The detection limit is 2 copies\/\u03bcL, and the entire procedure can be completed within 30 mins using simple portable equipment. When evaluated on 86 clinical samples, the assay demonstrated 94.18% concordance with RT-qPCR. Compared with conventional diagnostic methods, this RT-RPA\u2013CRISPR\/Cas12a assay offers greater convenience and cost-effectiveness. Its strong potential for field-based rapid testing underscores promising application prospects in swine influenza surveillance and control programs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/v18010047","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,29]],"date-time":"2025-12-29T06:25:51Z","timestamp":1766989551000},"page":"47","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["A Portable One-Tube Assay Integrating RT-RPA and CRISPR\/Cas12a for Rapid Visual Detection of Eurasian Avian-like H1N1 Swine Influenza Virus in the Field"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Changhai","family":"Tian","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Animal Disease Control and Prevention, Harbin Veterinary Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Harbin 150069, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lulu","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Animal Disease Control and Prevention, Harbin Veterinary Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Harbin 150069, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xu","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Animal Disease Control and Prevention, Harbin Veterinary Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Harbin 150069, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kailun","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Animal Disease Control and Prevention, Harbin Veterinary Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Harbin 150069, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Feifei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Animal Disease Control and Prevention, Harbin Veterinary Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Harbin 150069, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ru","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Animal Disease Control and Prevention, Harbin Veterinary Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Harbin 150069, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fei","family":"Meng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Animal Disease Control and Prevention, Harbin Veterinary Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Harbin 150069, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2049-332X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Huanliang","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Animal Disease Control and Prevention, Harbin Veterinary Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Harbin 150069, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chuanling","family":"Qiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Animal Disease Control and Prevention, Harbin Veterinary Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Harbin 150069, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiurong","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Animal Disease Control and Prevention, Harbin Veterinary Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Harbin 150069, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4580-9455","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jianzhong","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Animal Disease Control and Prevention, Harbin Veterinary Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Harbin 150069, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yan","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Animal Disease Control and Prevention, Harbin Veterinary Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Harbin 150069, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Richt, J.A., and Webby, R.J.
