Chicken infectious anemia virus (CIAV) is the pathogen of chicken infectious anemia. Currently, due to the lack of effective diagnostics technology and prevention approach, CIAV has spread globally and caused huge economic losses to poultry industry. In this study, a novel peptide-based ELISA (pELISA) for efficient detection of antibody against CIAV was developed. The peptide (25CRLRRRYKFRHRRRQRYRRRAF45) used in pELISA was highly conserved in VP1 protein of different CIAV isolates. The specificity and reproducibility showed that the pELISA only reacted with sera against CIAV, not with sera against other pathogens tested, and the CV of the intra-/inter-assay of the pELISA was 6.8 to 9.22%. Moreover, the comparison assay using 56 clinical samples showed that the positive rate of the pELISA and the commercial ELISA kit (IDEXX) was 85.7 and 80.4%, respectively. The pELISA generated here provides a rapid and efficient serological detection method for diagnosis of CIAV infection and evaluation of the efficacy of CIAV vaccination.
