Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 N2 gene
Description
The SARS-CoV-2-N2 dtec-RT-qPCR comprises a series of specific targeted reagents designed for Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 N2 gene detection by using qPCR. The Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is a positive and single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the family Coronaviridae in the genus Betacoronavirus. It is responsible of the Severe acute respiratory syndrome, a viral respiratory disease of zoonotic origin. Initial symptoms are flu-like and may include fever, muscle pain, lethargy symptoms, cough, sore throat, and other nonspecific symptoms. Most patients develop pneumonia; either direct viral pneumonia or secondary bacterial pneumonia. The way that SARS-CoV 2 seems to spread is by close person-to-person contact, mainly transmitted most readily by respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Between November 2002 and July 2003, an outbreak of SARS-CoV in Asia caused thousands of cases and hundreds of deaths in 17 countries. For the detection of SARS-CoV-2, WHO proposed several molecular assays for different targets, one of which has been developed for the N2 gene.
