چکیده

background and aims: a multiplex transcription-polymerase chain reaction (m-pcr) was developed for direct detection and discrimination between canarypox virus (cpv) and other avian poxvirus (apv). materials and methods: three compatible primer sets were designed for m-pcr amplification of different loci fpv126, fpv140, and fpv167 located at highly conserved apv genes. results: results showed that m-pcr products of the expected sizes were obtained for all of the primer sets when they were tested either alone or in combination with an artificial mixture of positive controls. based on the better amplification of fpv167 than other loci, the locus primer set was used to examine tissue samples from canaries clinically diagnosed as avp-infected. conclusion: all canary samples were positive for cpv by the m-pcr and virus isolation. the results of the present study indicate the m-pcr assay holds potential to be versatile, rapid, and sensitive for detection of cpv and differentiation of the virus from the other apvs.

Polymerase Chain Reaction for the Diagnosis of Tuberculosis

Dear Editor-in-Chief We read with interest the study by Khazaei et al. (1) in which the authors have nicely concluded that PCR is more sensitive test than Ziehl-Neelsen staining and histo-pathological examination for the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB). They have rightly pointed to use PCR, selectively, in acidfast bacilli negative paucibacillary forms of TB. However, we intend to highlight few...

Development of Multiplex Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction for Simultaneous Detection of Influenza A, B and Adenoviruses

Background and objective:Millions of people in developing countries lose their lives due to acute respiratory infections, such as Influenza A & B and Adeno viruses. Given the importance of rapid identification of the virus, in this study the researchers attempted to design a method that enables detection of influenza A, B, and adenoviruses, quickly and simultaneously. ...

EVALUATION OF DIRECT MICROSCOPY, CULTURE, AND POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF TUBERCULOUS MENINGITIS

In view of the importance of early diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis (TBM), the efficiency of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), one of the most reliable and sensitive DNA-based assays, was compared with conventional methods (acid-fast microscopy and culture) for the detection of M. tuberculosis in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens from patients suspected of TBM. Of the 29 CSF specim...
