This Avian Influenza Virus Real-time PCR Kit uses Taqman fluorescent probes to amplify and detect avian influenza virus (AIV) genes, and can be applied to avian influenza virus nucleic acid detection in avian laryngeopharynx, cloaca cotton swab samples, various tissue samples, allantoate and cell culture solutions
Background on Avian Influenza Virus
Avian influenza refers to the disease caused by infection with avian (bird) influenza (flu) Type A viruses. These viruses occur naturally among wild aquatic birds worldwide and can infect domestic poultry and other bird and animal species. Avian influenza A viruses are classified into the following two categories: low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) A viruses, and highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A viruses. H5 and H7 are the most known HPAI viruses.
