Background:

Porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV3) is a novel circovirus species identified in pigs with porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome (PDNS), reproductive failure, respiratory disease and multi-systemic inflammation. Porcine circovirus is a small, non-enveloped DNA virus that contains a single strand of circular DNA. It belongs to the genus Circovirus in the family Circoviridae.

Description:

ViroReal® Kit PCV3 detects the capsid gene of the porcine circovirus type 3. A probe-specific amplification-curve at 530 nm (FAM channel) indicates the amplification of PCV3 specific DNA. It allows the rapid and sensitive detection of DNA of PCV3 from samples purified from serum, oral fluid, swab specimens from respiratory tract and biopsies (e.g. with the QIAamp DNA Mini Kit or QIAamp DSP Virus Kit).

PCR-platforms:

ViroReal® Kit PCV3 is developed for the Applied Biosystems® 7500 instrument (Thermo Fisher Scientific), LightCycler® 480 (Roche) and Mx3005P® (Agilent), but is also suitable for other real-time PCR instruments.
