RT-PCR Assays for Seven Serotypes of Epizootic Haemorrhagic Disease Virus & Their Use to Type Strains from the Mediterranean Region and North America
17 Sept 2010
Abstract excerpt
Epizootic haemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV) infects wild ruminants, causing a frequently fatal haemorrhagic disease. However, it can also cause bluetongue-like disease in cattle, involving significant levels of morbidity and mortality, highlighting a need for more rapid and reliable diagnostic assays. EHDV outer-capsid protein VP2 (encoded by genome-segment 2 [Seg-2]) is highly variable and represents the primary...
