Analytical Validation of a Real-Time Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction Test for Pan-American Lineage H7 Subtype Avian Influenza Viruses

Abstract excerpt

A real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction test for the identification of the H7 subtype in North American avian influenza viruses AIV was first reported in 2002; however, recent (AIVs) surveillance efforts in wild birds and H7 outbreaks in poultry demonstrated that the 2002 test did not detect all H7 AIVs present in North and South America. Therefore, a new test, the 2008 Pan-American H7 test,...
