Comparison of Virus Isolation and Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction Assay for Detection of Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus in Bulk Milk Tank Samples
1 Mar 2000
Abstract excerpt
The use of a reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay to screen bulk milk tank samples for bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) has proven to be a sensitive and economical means to evaluate the lactating animals in a herd. The assay is capable of detecting the presence of a single persistently infected animal within a group of several hundred cows. Over a 3-year period, 144 samples from 97...
