PCR method for detection of largemouth bass virus
1 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method was developed for largemouth bass virus (LMBV). This iridovirus can cause a lethal disease of largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides, but also subclinically infects largemouth bass and other species of fishes. Oligonucleotide primers were designed to specifically amplify the major capsid protein gene of LMBV. The protocol for sample processing and PCR provided a method that...
