Development and evaluation of the RT-PCR kit for the rabies virus diagnosis

Abstract

To improve the diagnosis, surveillance, and control for the rabies virus, a kit for hybridization-triggered fluorescence detection of rabies virus DNA by the RT-PCR technique was developed and evaluated. The analytical sensitivity of the kit was 4*103 GE per ml. High specificity of the kit was shown using representative sampling of viral, bacterial, and human nucleic acids.
