Detection of Different Iranian Isolates of Bovine Herpes Virus Type-I (BHV-I) Using Polymerase Chain Reaction

Detection of bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) genomic sequences in bovine semen inoculated with BHV-1 by polymerase chain reaction.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique was applied to detect BHV-1 in bovine semen inoculated with BHV-1. The technique was found to be 10(6) times more sensitive than a non-isotopic dot-blot hybridization method in detecting viral genomic DNA. Of the three primer pairs used, the one chosen from glycoprotein gC appeared to be most sensitive as it could detect up to 0.01 TCID50 of BHV-1 in th...

Characterization of Iranian Isolates of Canine Parvovirus in Fecal Samples Using Polymerase Chain Reaction Assay

Despite the widespread prevalence of canine parvovirus disease (CPV) in Iranian dog population,molecular diagnosis of CPV variants, and investigation of the trends of its genetic changes is a new effort. Inthis study 50 samples from dogs suspicious of infection with clinical signs of diarrhea and vomiting, and 25samples from dogs suspected of infection with general symptoms su...

Detection of Babesia ovis Using Polymerase Chain Reaction.

Polymerase chain reaction for detection of herpes simplex virus encephalitis.

A patient with herpes simplex virus encephalitis is described. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to confirm the diagnosis in cerebrospinal fluid. PCR allows the rapid diagnosis of many infectious organisms, such as HSV, in which prompt diagnosis is essential.

Application of polymerase chain reaction in detection of egg drop syndrome (EDS) virus

  Egg drop syndrome (EDS) is caused by a hemagglutinating adenovirus which has become a major cause of lost egg production and sever economic losses in breeder and layer chicken flocks throughout the world. A PCR assay was optimized for detection of EDS virus in inoculated allantoic fluids (AFs) of duck and chicken emberyonated eggs. Two strains of EDS viruses were propagated in allantoic cavit...
