A novel molecular test for influenza B virus detection and lineage differentiation

A Reverse transcription-PCR assay for detection of type A influenza virus and differentiation of avian H7 subtype

Abstract : Avian influenza virus (AIV) infection is a major cause of influenza mortality in birds and can cause human mortality and morbidity. Although the risk of infection with avian influenza virus (AIV) is generally low for most people, the pathogenic virus can cross the species barrier and acquires the ability to infect and be transmitted among the human population; therefore the ra...

Immunofluorescence Method for The Detection of Non-Pathogenic Influenza Virus

The direct F.A. Method has been used for diffe­rentiation of virulent and avirulent lines of influenza viruses. A positive fluorescence was obtained indi­cating the level of virus in the tissues, sorbing with dried mouse powder helped to reduce non-specific staining. The virulent line showed the greatest num­ber of fluorescent cells with the peak at 10 hours. the non-virulent lines showed a gra...

Novel fast reverse transcriptase PCR assay for molecular detection of human influenza A (H1N1) virus.

A novel subtype of influenza A pandemic virus, A(H1N1)v, was recently reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (Atlanta, GA) and WHO in April 2009 (1). Infection most commonly results in a mild respiratory tract infection, but there are reports of severe cases with mortalities even in patients without chronic diseases (2). Early detection of infection is important in pro...
