The Influenzavirus A Hemagglutinin 5 and Neuraminidase 1 dtec-RT-qPCR-Panel-2 comprises a series of specific targeted reagents designed for Avian influenza type A virus subtypes H5 and N1 detection by using qPCR. Influenza A virus causes influenza in birds and some mammals. Influenzavirus A is a genus of the Orthomyxoviridae family. Strains of all subtypes of influenza A virus have been isolated from wild birds, although disease is uncommon. Some isolates of influenza A virus cause severe disease both in domestic poultry and, rarely, in humans. Influenza A viruses are negative-sense, single-stranded, segmented RNA viruses. The several subtypes are labelled according to an H number (hemagglutinin) and an N number (neuraminidase). Subtype H5N1 shows high pathogenicity in birds and can cause illness in humans and many other animal species. It is commonly known as avian influenza, avian flu, and colloquially, bird flu. It is enzootic (maintained in the population) in many bird populations, especially in Southeast Asia. The assay was designed to cover sequences from the core cluster of the subtype. However, as Influenza virus are fast-evolving microorganisms, the inclusivity cannot be ensured for some new clonal strains of the virus.
