O. Marquardt et al., TYPE-INDEPENDENT DETECTION OF FOOT-AND-MO UTH-DISEASE VIRUS (FMDV) INNASAL SWABS WITHIN 24 HOURS BY POLYMERASE CHAIN-REACTION, Tierarztliche Umschau, 50(5), 1995, pp. 344
A method to detect the genomes of various foot-and-mouth disease virus
types in nasal swabs, probang and aphthaeous material from infected c
attle is presented. The method is as sensitive as currently used virus
isolation procedures, but more rapidly performed, because results are
obtained at the latest within 24 hours following the reception of sam
ples.
