Detection and Quantification of Equine Herpesvirus-1 Viremia and Nasal Shedding by Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction
1 Jul 2006
Abstract excerpt
Equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1) infection is common in young horses throughout the world, resulting in respiratory disease, epidemic abortion, sporadic myelitis, or latent infections. To improve on conventional diagnostic tests for EHV-1, a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique was developed, using primers and probes specific for the EHV-1 gB gene. Amplification efficiencies of 100% +/- 5% were...
