PCV2 Real-time PCR Kit

Background Information

Porcine CircoVirus Associated Diseases (PCVAD) is considered a disease of major economic importance because of its ability to cause high death loss and poor growth performance. The disease is caused by Porcine Circovirus Type 2 (PCV2) and the condition is usually nonresponsive to antibiotic treatment due to the viral cause. Clinical signs of the disease include poor body condition with varying degrees of muscle wasting, labored breathing, and enlarged lymph nodes. Death loss can be as high as 40% in severely affected herds. The PCV2 virus is very stable and resistant to inactivation. Preventing or minimizing the chances of infection requires exceptionally good husbandry practices. Although researchers have confirmed PCV2 as the main infectious agent to trigger the disease, PCVAD may require other factors or agents for clinical signs and lesions to appear.

LiliF™ PCV2 Real-time PCR Kit is able to detect directly and specifically Porcine Circovirus Type 2 (PCV2) by real-time PCR technology on the basis of a genetic database of target nucleic acid fragments. Therefore, this kit can diagnose very sensitive, fast and accurately. The kit contains a specific primer and probe set for a highly conserved region based on current sequence alignments of all type of PCV2, allowing the RNA detection. It can determine the infecting all serotype and accurately and sensitivity detect multiple detection genes at one time using the real-time PCR (quantitative) method, and take only 2 hours for detection. Fast and sensitive detection of pathogen enables patients to get appropriate treatment and prevent the rapid spreading of disease by separating patients immediately.
