May 3, the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture press office said that the Ministry of Agriculture has successfully developed a pig infected with influenza A N1N1 virus, RT-PCR detection kit can be completed within 5 hours pigs infected with influenza A rapid detection of H1N1 virus. This method is high sensitivity and specificity, not only in pigs infected with influenza A H1N1 virus detection, diagnosis of human infection with influenza A H1N1 influenza virus has a high reference value.
It is understood that occur outside of human infection with influenza H1N1 flu outbreak, the Ministry of Agriculture immediately organized the National Avian Influenza Reference Laboratory, China Animal Health and Epidemiology Center and other organizations of experts set up prevention and control of swine infected with influenza A H1N1 virus, expert groups, research and development fast and effective diagnostic reagents, and providing technical reserves. The National Avian Influenza Reference Laboratory with the relevant international organizations to obtain the current incidence of human infection caused by influenza A H1N1 influenza virus gene sequences. Group with less than a week to complete the pigs infected with influenza A H1N1 virus, RT-PCR detection methods for primer design and clinical testing, and test kit had sensitivity test, specificity test, stability test, operability The review of tests and trials.
Influenza A H1N1 Influenza is an influenza A H1N1 influenza virus from pigs with respiratory disease, the virus can cause flu outbreaks in pigs. Under normal circumstances rarely infected with influenza A H1N1 human influenza viruses. In recent years, also appeared in the United States and other extraordinary infected with influenza A H1N1 influenza cases, patients mostly have had direct contact with diseased people. Probably through contact with infected pigs or have been Influenza A H1N1 influenza virus infection in the environment, or through infected with influenza A H1N1 influenza virus, contact with someone who is.
