Real Time PCR Detection Kit Avian influenza type A virus subtypes H and N Panel (H7 and N9)

The Real Time PCR detection Kit Avian influenza type A virus subtypes H and N Panel (H7 and N9) comprises a series of specific targeted reagents designed for Avian influenza type A virus subtypes H7 and N9 detection by using qPCR.

GENERAL INFORMATION:Influenza A virus causes influenza in birds and some mammals. Influenzavirus A is a genus of the Orthomyxoviridae family. Strains of all subtypes of influenza A virus have been isolated from wild birds, although disease is uncommon. Some isolates of influenza A virus cause severe disease both in domestic poultry and, rarely, in humans. Influenza A viruses are negative-sense, single-stranded, segmented RNA viruses. The several subtypes are labelled according to an H number (hemagglutinin) and an N number (neuraminidase). Influenza A is generally recognized as Avian influenza, sometimes called avian flu, and colloquially, bird flu. Subtype H7N9, causes severe pneumonia in humans with a 38 % mortality. The assay was designed to cover sequences from the core cluster of the subtype. However, as Influenza virus are fast-evolving microorganisms, the inclusivity cannot be ensured for some new clonal strains of the virus.
