H9N2 avian influenza viruses (AIVs) have been detected from wild birds and domestic poultry worldwide. Serious diseases combined with secondary infection have caused high mortality and great economic losses to poultry industry. Therefore, simple, rapid, sensitive and accurate methods suitable for field detection of H9N2 AIVs are crucial to efficiently control virus infection and spread in time. In this study, an isothermal reverse transcription recombinase polymerase amplification with lateral‐flow dipstick (RT‐RPA‐LFD) assay for detection of hemagglutinin (HA) gene of H9 subtype influenza viruses was developed. The optimal forward and reverse primers targeting HA gene of H9 subtype influenza viruses were labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and biotin at the 5′‐end, respectively. The amplification reaction could be finished in 20 min at a wide temperature range of 30–42°C, and then the products could be visualized with naked eyes. The developed H9 RT‐RPA‐LFD was able to detect 0.15 pg of H9N2 AIV RNA, which was 10 times more sensitive than that of conventional RT‐PCR. The H9 RT‐RPA‐LFD assay did not detect nucleic acids extracted from H9 negative samples or from other poultry respiratory pathogens. The clinical performance of H9 RT‐RPA‐LFD was determined by testing 120 cloacal samples collected from chickens with respiratory syndromes. The coincidence rate of the detection results between RT‐RPA‐LFD and conventional RT‐PCR was 95.8%. Therefore, the developed RT‐RPA‐LFD assay provides a rapid, reliable and sensitive method for field diagnosis of H9 subtype AIVs.
