Abstract
Duck enteritis virus (DEV) is a herpesvirus that causes an acute, contagious, and fatal disease. In the present article, we introduce a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for DEV DNA using TaqMan technology and a two-step protocol. It was confirmed to be rapid, sensitive, and specific for DEV detection. The primers and probe were designed and directed to the DNA polymerase gene of DEV. The method will provide a valuable tool for rapid laboratory diagnosis of DEV infection. By virtue of its high-throughput format and its ability to accurately quantify the viral DNA, the method may be useful for large epidemiological surveys and clarification of pathogenesis, such as latency and reactivation of the virus. Resumen Desarrollo de una prueba cuantitativa de reacción en cadena por la polimerasa en tiempo real para ADN del virus de la enteritis de los patos. El virus de la enteritis de los patos es un virus herpes que causa una enfermedad aguda, contagiosa y fatal. En el presente estudio se describe una prueba cuantitativa de reacción en cadena por la polimerasa en tiempo real para ADN del virus de la enteritis de los patos, utilizando tecnología Taqman y un protocolo de dos pasos. Se confirmó su rapidez, sensibilidad y especificidad para la detección del virus de la enteritis de los patos. Los iniciadores y las sondas fueron diseñados y dirigidos al gen de la polimerasa del virus. El método proporcionará una herramienta valiosa para el diagnóstico rápido de la infección con el virus de la enteritis de los patos. En virtud de su formato de alto rendimiento y su capacidad de cuantificar el ADN viral de una forma precisa, el método puede ser útil para estudios epidemiológicos y para la clarificación de aspectos de...Keywords
