Real-time RT-PCR for H5N1 avian influenza A virus detection
19 Apr 2007
Abstract excerpt
The recent recurrence of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus A H5N1 was firstly reported in mid-December 2003 and continued through 2005. This study describes a sensitive and specific real-time RT-PCR method for the detection of influenza A subtype H5 and for monitoring virus loads. Using serial dilutions of influenza A H5N1 cultures, this assay reproducibly determined the lowest detection limit to be...
