Performance of a Foot-and-Mouth Disease virus Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction with Amplification Controls between Three Real-Time Instruments
1 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
The foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) is a member of the picornavirus family, possessing an 8-kb single-stranded RNA genome of positive polarity. It is highly contagious among several livestock species and can lead to severe economic consequences, as evidenced by the UK outbreak in 2001. The usage of real-time polymerase chain reaction has facilitated rapid detection of FMDV. Several real-time PCR instruments...
