Characterization of Class I Newcastle Disease Virus Isolates from Hong Kong Live Bird Markets and Detection Using Real-Time Reverse Transcription-PCR
8 Feb 2007
Abstract excerpt
Newcastle disease viruses isolated from Hong Kong live bird markets (LBMs) were not detected by a USDA-validated matrix gene real-time reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) assay. Based upon phylogenetic analysis of the fusion gene, these viruses were related to lentogenic class I viruses found in U.S. LBMs and wild waterfowl. An alternative real-time RT-PCR assay which complements the matrix gene assay was...
