during 2009-10, real time rt-pcr and conventional rt-pcr techniques used for detecting btvs rna in 310 blood samples. for real time and gel based rt-pcr segment-1 and segment-10 selected as conserve genes to search any btv strains. using these methods, 58 (%18.7) and 14 (%4.5) positive samples were detected among the clinically suspected sheep. sensitivity of both molecular techniques evalua...

during 2010-2011, real-time pcr procedure was used to detecting fmdv rna on 147 epithelium samples from the field. in this survey, for real-time pcr from 3d gene segment as conserve region selected for tracking all of seven serotypes fmdv. the assay detected the viral rna in all serotypes of fmdv. the rrt-pcr specifically detected fmd virus in sample with greater sensitivity than our convention...

background and aims: accurate and rapid diagnosis is necessary for effective control and prevention of foot-and-mouth disease (fmd). in present study, was evaluated real time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (rrt-pcr) assay along with diagnostic routine methods for the detection of all seven serotypes of fmd virus (fmdv), namely o, c, a, sat1, 2, 3 and asia 1 in biological sample...

PURPOSE Compared to conventional radiotherapy (RT), intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) significantly reduces the rate of treatment-induced late toxicities in head and neck cancer. However, a clear survival benefit of IMRT over conventional RT has not yet been shown. This study is among the first comparative study to compare the survival rates between conventional RT and helical tomotherapy...

Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is an etiologic agent of respiratory tract infections. In this study, we compared the sensitivity and specificity of real-time reverse transcription (RT)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR), conventional RT-PCR, and nested PCR in detecting hMPV genes. A total of 146 clinical specimens from 143 patients who showed acute respiratory tract infection symptoms were tested by...
