AsurDx™ Foot-and-mouth disease virus universal (FMDV-U) Real-Time PCR Detection Kit
The AsurDxTM Foot-and-mouth disease virus universal (FMDV-U) Real-Time PCR detection kit is designed to detect the universal RNA of foot-and-mouth disease virus in blister fluid, blister skin, tissue samples, O-P fluid from ruminants, and serum samples from susceptible animals, providing auxiliary diagnosis for infections caused by the foot-and-mouth disease virus universal type.
Feature
- Rapid: Results are obtained within 60 minutes.
- Ready to use: Simply mix the reagents, add to reaction plate, and add samples or controls. No need for extra processing minutes.
- Adaptable: Many kits are able to utilize a variety of tissues from live or dead animals, body fluids, blood, waste products, or even cell culture to obtain nucleic acid for analysis.
- Simple: Results are determined easily by Ct value.
- Flexible: Kits can be analyzed by ABI7500, Agilent MX3000P/3005P, LightCycler, Bio-Rad, Eppendorf, and other series of fluorescent quantitative PCR detection instruments.

About Disease
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is an acute, severe, and contagious disease caused by the foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) affecting cloven-hoofed animals. The World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) lists FMD as a notifiable animal disease, and it is classified as a Category I animal disease in China.
The primary sources of infection for FMD are animals in the incubation period and those showing clinical symptoms. Susceptible animals can contract the virus through the respiratory tract, digestive tract, reproductive tract, and wounds. It is usually spread through direct or indirect contact (e.g., droplets) or through animal vectors such as humans, dogs, flies, and cicadas. The virus can be present in excretions such as breath, saliva, feces, urine, milk, semen, and meat and by-products. Infected cattle and sheep can carry the virus in their esophagus-pharynx area for an extended period.
