Development of a Polymerase Chain Reaction Procedure for Detection of Chicken and Turkey Parvoviruses
1 Mar 2009
Abstract excerpt
Comparative sequence analysis of six independent chicken and turkey parvovirus nonstructural (NS) genes revealed specific genomic regions with 100% nucleotide sequence identity. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay with primers targeting these conserved genome sequences proved to be highly specific and sensitive to detecting parvoviruses in experimentally infected chickens. In a nationwide survey, a total of...
