Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Avian influenza (AI) caused by H7 AI viruses (AIVs) of both low pathogenicity (LP) and high pathogenicity (HP) are notifiable poultry diseases. OBJECTIVES: Design and validate two RealTime reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reactions (RRT PCRs) for Eurasian H7 AIV detection and pathotyping. METHODS: The H7 RRT PCRs amplified within the (i) HA2 and (ii) cleavage site CS regions of the...
