PCR-BOVINE-PARAINFLUENZA-3-FAKTOR (cat. no. R12316-VET) (55 reactions / 110 reactions)

The reagent kit is designed to detect RNA paragrippa-3 of cattle (Bovine parainfluenza virus 3) in biological material (plumbage with mucous nasal cavity, pharynx, vagina swabs, parenchimatose organs fragments, placenta, intestines, lymph nodes, blood) by reverse transcription and a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with a real-time fluorescent section (PCR PCR).

Bovine parainfluenza-3 is an acute, contagious viral disease affecting the respiratory system. Healthy animals become infected through airborne droplets, usually from sick animals. Young animals aged 1.5–3 months are most often affected because susceptibility is strongly influenced by immune system maturity. Clinical signs are rarely recorded in calves older than six months; in adults the disease is mostly latent, without clinical signs. Morbidity in calves is usually high (70–80%), and mortality ranges from 2% to 15–20%.
