01. Detection of Turkey Rhinotracheitis Virus from Chickens with Swollen Head Syndrome by Reverse Transcriptase-Nested Polymerase Chain Reaction

Japanese

High sensitive detection method of turkey rhinotracheitis virus (TRTV) was developed by reverse transcriptase - nested polymerase chain reaction. TRTV was highly detected from field case of swollen head syndrome (SHS) by applying the PCR method, and correlation between TRTV infection and SHS outbreak was suggested.
