1. Infectious laryngotracheitis is a respiratory disease that affects the poultry industry worldwide. It is common in flocks with high-bird density, causing major economic losses.
2. In this study, a SYBR® FAST polymerase chain reaction (PCR) double-strand DNA intercalating agent assay was performed for the detection of infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV) in clinical samples in comparison with a conventional nested-PCR, both based on the glycoprotein E encoding gene. This assay amplified 56 bp and was capable of detecting 19 to 1 copies of virus.
3. In total, 164 clinical samples were obtained from birds with respiratory problems from the period of 2009–2016. In the nested-PCR, there were 45.12% positive samples and 54.88% negative samples, while in the real-time PCR (qPCR), there were 81.1% positive samples and 18.9% negative samples.
4. In conclusion, qPCR from the DNA double-strand intercalating agent SYBR® GREEN FAST was useful for the diagnosis of ILTV because it detected samples that were negative in nested-PCR. This assay has advantages, such as a shortened processing-time, and no need for post-amplification processing (electrophoresis) with additional reagents, such as MgCl2 and agarose. Hence, qPCR proved to be useful, rapid and low cost for use with clinical samples. 相似文献
With mass immunization application of pseudorabies virus (PRV) gE gene deleted attenuated vaccine in China, it played an important role in prevention and control of porcine pseudorabies, meanwhile it also needed to establish a differential diagnosis technology for gE gene deleted vaccine matching to eliminate virus affected swine and reduce immune pigs to be killed, and gradually realized the purification of PRV. With the gradual progress of molecular biology and immunology, molecular biological and serological diagnosis methods based on PRV gE protein continuously developed and improved. In this paper, recent study on various molecular and serological diagnosis methods of gE protein based on the current situation and development prospect were reviewed, in order to provide reasonable scientific basis for diagnosis and prevention of PRV in China. 相似文献
