Application of polymerase chain reaction in detection of egg drop syndrome (EDS) virus
Authors
Abstract:
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 cavity of eggs. Then the virus DNA was extracted. PCR test was designed and carried out by specific primers. The 1900 bp band was detected in agar gel electrophoresis. Serial two fold dilutions of infected allantoic fluid were prepared. The HA test and PCR assay were carried out for each dilution and finally results were compared to each other. The PCR assay could detect some negative HA titers. This study clearly indicates the superiority of PCR assay over HA test for detection of EDS virus in AFs.

This study aimed to investigate the frequency of Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) in benign and malignant breast tumors. A total of 24 carcinomas and 24 fibroadenomas paraffin embedded tumoral tissue samples were obtained from the pathology sections of Toos and Firoozgar hospitals in Tehran, Iran. All samples were collected from patients from June 2011 to February 2012. DNA was extracted from all s...

Background: Ureaplasma urealyticum is known as a sexually transmitted agent, causing mainly urethritis, pelvic int1ammatory disease, spontaneous abortion, pyelonephritis, infertility, stillbirth, low birth weight neonatal meningititis, and neonatal pneumonia. U. urealyticum infections not only jeopardize fertility but also pose a risk for infertility treatment and resulting pregnancies. Dia...

Detection of Leishmania DNA in paraffin embedded specimens of chronic lupoid leishmaniasis using polymerase chain reaction
Background: Chronic lupoid leishmaniasis (CLL) is a chronicform of cutaneous leishmaniasis that is usually resistant to antileishmania agents and leishmania is not seen in the histologicsections. We used polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detectleishmania DNA in CLL specimens.Method: This descriptive cross sectional study was done on20 paraffin embedded specimens of CLL cases referred to theder...
