Bluetongue virus (BTV) | Epizootic Haemorrhagic Disease Virus (EHDV)

ID Gene™ BTV & EHDV Advantage Triplex

PCR

Real-time RT-PCR kit for the qualitative detection of BTV and EHDV RNA in whole blood (in EDTA tubes), spleen or organs from aborted fetuses

This ready-to-use, qualitative Triplex detection kit simultaneously detects in real time:

  • A target sequence specific to the EHDV, conserved in all known serotypes from EHDV-1 to EHDV-8, including in the EHDV-8 strain recently isolated in Tunisia, Italy and Spain (serotype 8, Tun-2021), in the FAM™ channel.
  • A target sequence specific to the BTV, conserved in all known genotypes, including in the atypical BTV-25 strains and the strains recently isolated in Europe (BTV-3 NL-2023, BTV-8 FR-2023 and and BTV-4 Corse 2023), in the VIC®/ HEX™ channel.
  • A sequence specific to a ubiquitous gene, inherently present in ruminant cells (NTPCen), in order to validate the integrity of the sample and the quality of the nucleic acid extraction, in the Cy5 channel.

ACCURATE AND RELIABLE RESULTS

  • Efficient differential diagnosis of Bluetongue (BTV) and Epizootic hemorraghic disease (EHDV) in a single well:
    • Accurate detection of all BTV and EHDV tested strains, including BTV-8 and EHDV-8 strains detected in Europe in 2023
    • Excellent inclusivity of all BTV and EHDV tested genotypes
    • Efficient detection of co-infections
  • Validated by the French National Reference Laboratory for BTV & EHDV (ANSES)
  • Excellent diagnostic performance
  • High robustness and stability ensuring consistency of results

 

CONVENIENT, EFFICIENT AND FLEXIBLE

  • Optimized parallel testing for several pathogens (specific BTV serotypes, EHDV, BVDV…):
    • Same reagent volumes as those of the ID GeneTM BTV PCR kits and ID GeneTM EHDV Advantage Duplex PCR kit, to secure the analytical process
    • Same amplification protocol common to all ID Gene™ PCR kits, meaning that several pathogens (BTV, BVDV, EHDV…) may be tested on the same plate
  • Time-saving protocol: obtain results in less than 50 minutes with the rapid amplification protocol
  • Ready-to-use reagents
