ViroReal® Kit Porcine Parvovirus 1

Detection of the NS1 gene of PPV

Background: Porcine parvovirus (PPV) is a member of the Parvoviridae family with a single-stranded DNA as genome. PPV is associated with reproductive problems, including abortion, still births, small litters, neonatal deaths and weak piglets. PPV multiplies normally in the intestine of the pig without causing clinical signs. Disease occurs when sero-negative dams are infected in the first half of gestation and the virus crosses the placenta.

Description: ViroReal® Kit Porcine Parvovirus uses real-time PCR for the detection of the non-structural protein 1 (NS1) gene of the porcine parvovirus (PPV). Our carefully designed primers and probe ensure highest sensitivity and specificity. The kit consists of an assay mix for the detection of the pathogen as well as a positive control and an internal positive control (IPC). To minimize PCR cross-contamination,the reaction mix included contains dUTP and uracil-N glycosylase (UNG).
