Development, Application, and Results of Routine Monitoring of Marek's Disease Virus in Broiler House Dust Using Real-Time Quantitative PCR
1 Jun 2013
Abstract excerpt
Results are presented from four studies between 2002 and 2011 into the feasibility of routinely monitoring Marek's disease virus serotype 1 (MDV-1) in broiler house dust using real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) measurement. Study 1 on two farms showed that detection of MDV-1 occurred earlier on average in dust samples tested using qPCR than standard PCR and in spleen samples from five birds per shed assayed for...
