Background:  Porcine cytomegalovirus (PCMV) is a herpesvirus infecting only pigs. PCMV is present worldwide. Most PCMV infections are sub-clinical and clinical disease is rare causing inclusion body rhinitis (IBR), pneumonia, anaemia, fever and abortion or neonatal piglet losses. The virus may also be endemic without causing any apparent clinical disease or economic loss. However, these infected animals can be latent carriers of the virus.

Description:  ViroReal® Kit PCMV uses real-time PCR for the detection of the DNA polymerase (DPOL) gene of the porcine cytomegalovirus (PCMV). Our carefully designed primers and probe ensure highest sensitivity and specificity. The kit consists of an assay mix for the detection of the pathogen as well as a positive control and an internal positive control (IPC). To minimize PCR cross-contamination,the reaction mix included contains dUTP and uracil-N glycosylase (UNG).
