Avian Influenza Virus Subtype H7N9 Real Time PCR Kit

Beskrivning

Introduction

Avian influenza A(H7N9) is a subtype of influenza viruses detected in birds in the past. This particular A(H7N9) virus had not previously been seen in either animals or people until it was found in March 2013 in China, which caused severe respiratory disease in more than 400 humans, of whom more than 100 died.

Animal influenza viruses are distinct from human seasonal influenza viruses and do not easily transmit between humans. However, zoonotic influenza viruses – animal influenza viruses that may occasionally infect humans through direct or indirect contact – can cause disease in humans ranging from mild illness to death. Birds are the natural hosts for avian influenza viruses. 

The BioPerfectus Avian Influenza Virus Subtype H7N9 Real Time PCR Kit is an in vitro diagnostic test, based on real-time PCR technology, for the detection of Influenza Virus Subtype H7N9 RNA. Samples can be obtained from throat swab and sputum of people.
