No serological evidence for the presence of swine vesicular disease virus in South Africa.

Rapid and accurate diagnosis of Foot-and-mouth disease virus by Real-time PCR in field samples

During 2010-2011, Real-time PCR procedure was used to detecting FMDV RNA on 147 epithelium samples from the field. In this survey, for Real-time PCR from 3D gene segment as conserve region selected for tracking all of seven serotypes FMDV. The assay detected the viral RNA in all serotypes of FMDV. The rRT-PCR specifically detected FMD virus in sample with greater sensitivity than our convention...
