Paper-based assays for HIV diagnosis are cheap, portable, and require little to no skilled training, electricity, or expensive equipment to perform successfully. However, there is a need for tests with lower limits of detection (LOD) for diagnosing infection at the earliest stages. Effective labeling to increase signal-to-noise ratio is critical...
A rapid virus detection method was developed for Infectious Hemotopoietic Necrosis Virus (IHNV). The virus detection method could be applied to Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis Virus (IPNV) under certain conditions. It was possible to detect IHNV to a lower limit of 1.7 X 10⁴ Tissue Culture Infectious Dose for 50% (TCID₅₀)...
Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV), bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) and bovine parainfluenza virus Type 3 (BPI3) are ubiquitous respiratory pathogens of cattle, which contribute to causation of bovine respiratory disease complex. As these respiratory viral pathogens cause very similar clinical symptoms, differential diagnosis of the pathogens is required in one...
