Method for determination of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) virus 146S component concentration with real-time reverse transcription – polymerase chain reaction (rtRT-PCR) in vaccine raw materials is developed. Negative regression model of  С146S = (30.269 – Ct )/4.155 type allowing determination of FMDV 146S particle concentrations based on the amplification threshold cycle values (Ct ) is proposed. It has been experimentally proven that the quantity of the 146S component determined by the real-time RT-PCR method using developed regression model and contained in the inoculation dose of FMD vaccine confers protection to the vaccinated animals against generalized FMD of A, O, Asia-1 types. rtRT-PCR method is highly sensitive and allows rapid and highly reliable estimation of the 146S antigen concentration in FMD vaccine. The method for 146S particle quantity determination by real-time RT-PCR using the regression model is reliable and demonstrates high correlation (95.5–99.0%) with the complement fixation test results.

As concerns over the global spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 have heightened, more countries are faced with increased surveillance efforts and incident response planning for handling a potential outbreak. The incorporation of molecular techniques in most diagnostic laboratories has enabled fast and efficient testing of many agents of concern, including avian influenza. However, the need for high-throughput testing remains. In this study, the use of a 384–well format for high-throughput real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (real-time RT-PCR) testing for avian influenza is described. The analytical sensitivity of a real-time RT-PCR assay for avian influenza virus matrix gene with the use of both 96– and 384–well assay formats and serial dilutions of transcribed control RNA were comparable, resulting in similar limits of detection. Of 28 hunter-collected cloacal swabs that were positive by virus isolation, 26 (92.9%) and 27 (96.4%) were positive in the 96– and 384–well assays, respectively; of the 340 hunter-collected swabs that were negative by virus isolation, 45 (13.2%) and 23 (6.8%) were positive in the 96– and 384–well assays, respectively. The data presented herein supports the utility of the 384–well format in the event of an avian influenza outbreak for high-throughput real-time RT-PCR testing.

Abstract: Malaria is one of the most important parasitic disease which is caused by Plasmodium spp. There are approximately 1,2 billion people in the world with high risk of getting malaria. Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) is the cause of tropical malaria or falciparum malaria, and is responsible for most of the mortality rate. Currently, real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is being studied as an alterative of conventional malarian examination. Mangold et al reported that RT-PCR have 94.1% sensitivity and 100% specificity compared to microscopic examination in detecting P. falciparum. The aim of this research is to detect the presence of P. falciparum using RT-PCR in Likupang and Bitung region. This research were using descriptive design to find out the capability of real-time PCR method to detect P. falciparum in Likupang dan Bitung region. The researcher have examined 71 samples which are fulfill the research sample’s criteria. Postive results of P. falciparum found in 18 samples (25,3%) and negative results in 53 samples (74,6%) of total 71 samples with using RT-PCR. No positive results were found in samples from Likupang. There are positive result of P. falciparum in samples from Bitung. It is concluded that RT-PCR method can detect the presence of P. falciparum from the samples obtained from Likupang and Bitung based on the presence of its DNA. This detection efford is done by using 18S rRNA as target gene and ajust specific temperature on the RT-PCR instrument.Keywords: Plasmodium falciparum, Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), DetectionAbstrak: Malaria merupakan salah satu penyakit penting yang disebabkan oleh parasit Plasmodium spp. Kira-kira 1,2 miliar penduduk dunia memiliki risiko tinggi untuk mendapat malaria.

Abstract The relation of continuing to test positive for SARS-CoV-2 by reverse transcription real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to infectivity remains unclear, with numerous consequences. This report describes two patients with persistent viral detection by RT-PCR for 77 and 72 days, longer than other reported cases who were otherwise healthy.

In September 2010, an outbreak of disease in 2 wild bird species (red-legged partridge, Alectoris rufa; ring-necked pheasant, Phasianus colchicus) occurred in southern Spain. Bagaza virus (BAGV) was identified as the etiological agent of the outbreak. BAGV had only been reported before in Western Africa (Central African Republic, Senegal) and in India. The first occurrence of BAGV in Spain stimulated a demand for rapid, reliable, and efficacious diagnostic methods to facilitate the surveillance of this disease in the field. This report describes a real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method based on a commercial 5’-Taq nuclease-3’ minor groove binder DNA probe and primers targeting the Bagaza NS5 gene. The method allowed the detection of BAGV with a high sensitivity, whereas other closely related flaviviruses ( Usutu virus, West Nile virus, and Japanese encephalitis virus) were not detected. The assay was evaluated using field samples of red-legged partridges dead during the outbreak ( n = 11), as well as samples collected from partridges during surveillance programs ( n = 81). The results were compared to those obtained with a pan-flaviviral hemi-nested RT-PCR followed by nucleotide sequencing, which was employed originally to identify the virus involved in the outbreak. The results obtained with both techniques were 100% matching, indicating that the newly developed real-time RT-PCR is a valid technique for BAGV genome detection, useful in both diagnosis and surveillance studies.
