Sindbis Virus Real Time PCR Kit

Beskrivning

Introduction

Sindbis virus (SINV) is an enveloped RNA virus of the genus Alphavirus in the virus family Togaviridae. Sindbis virus is related to Chikungunya alphavirus. Sindbis virus was first isolated from Culex mosquitoes in 1952 in the Nile river delta in Egypt. The first human cases were described in Uganda in 1961, South Africa in 1963, and Australia in 1967. The virus was subsequently acknowledged as the causative agent of a rash-arthritis syndrome. The clinical disease caused by SINV infection is known as Pogosta disease (Finland), Ockelbo disease (Sweden), and Karelian fever (Russia).

The Bioperfectus Sindbis Virus Real Time PCR Kit is an in vitro diagnostic test, based on real-time PCR technology for detecting RNA from the Sindbis Virus.  Specimens can be obtained from human serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
