Avian Influenza type A virus subtype H1
Description
The AIAV-H1 dtec-RT-qPCR comprises a series of specific targeted reagents designed for Avian Influenza type A virus subtype H1 detection by using qPCR. Influenza A viruses are negative-sense, single-stranded, segmented RNA viruses belonging to the Orthomyxoviridae family. Influenza type A virus is responsible of a severe respiratory disease with high morbidity and low mortality. The several subtypes are labelled according to an H number (hemagglutinin) and an N number (neuraminidase). There are seventeen different H antigens (H1 to H17) and nine different N antigens (N1 to N9). H1 is mostly related with the subtype H1N1 which is endemic in swine, birds, and humans. The assay was designed to cover sequences from the core cluster of the subtype. However, as Influenza virus are fast-evolving microorganisms, the inclusivity can not be ensured for some new clonal strains of the virus.
