Detection and identification of aquatic birnaviruses by PCR assay
1 Apr 1995
Abstract excerpt
A reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay was developed for the detection and identification of aquatic birnaviruses. The four sets of primers (PrA, PrB, PrC, and PrD) that we used are specific for regions of cDNA coded by genome segment A of aquatic birnaviruses. PrA identifies a large fragment (1,180 bp) within the pVP2-coding region, and PrB identifies a 524-bp fragment within the...
