Development of a Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction for the Differentiation of Bovine Herpesvirus-1 and -5
27 Oct 2001
Abstract excerpt
Bovine herpesvirus-1 (BHV-1) and bovine herpesvirus-5 (BHV-5) are closely related viruses which exhibit some important differences at the genetic and immunogenic levels which may explain the differences in their pathogenicity and epidemiological characteristics. A multiplex polymerase chain reaction (M-PCR) was developed to detect and differentiate between BHV-1 and BHV-5. In this M-PCR two pairs of primers (TK1,...
