Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The following complete molecular diagnostic procedure we developed, based on real-time quantitative PCR and traditional PCR, is effective for avian influenza surveillance, virus subtyping, and viral genome sequencing. METHOD: This study provides a specific and sensitive step-by-step procedure for efficient avian influenza identification of 16 hemagglutinin and 9 neuraminidase avian influenza subtypes. RESULT AND CONCLUSION: This diagnostic procedure may prove exceedingly useful for virological and ecological advancements in global avian influenza research.
