Detection of chicken astrovirus by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction [PDF]
Avian Pathology, 2009 The development of a reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test for detecting chicken astroviruses (CAstV) is described. Primers, which amplified a fragment of 510 base pairs, were located in conserved regions within the ORF 1b (RNA polymerase) gene. The limit of detection of the test was estimated to be approximately 60 viral copies
