Pigeon rotavirus
Pathogen DetectionA fluorescent probe PCR assay designed for pigeon rotavirus (PiRV). Rotavirus is a common cause of viral diarrhoea in racing pigeons and mainly affects young birds; this kit detects rotavirus nucleic acid in faecal samples rapidly.
Specific primers and probes are designed against conserved pathogen regions to reduce non-specific amplification.
Fluorescent probe chemistry is sensitive enough to detect low-copy-number nucleic acid.
A built-in dUTP/UNG system removes false positives caused by residual PCR aerosol.
Supplied with internal-control quality checks to support confidence in the process and the result.
