Background: Human parechoviruses are non-enveloped, positive single-stranded RNA viruses (ss(+)RNA) and are members of the Picornaviridae family. Six serotypes of human parechovirus have been identified (human parechovirus 1-6). Parechoviruses are responsible for gastrointestinal, respiratory and central nervous system infections. 95% of humans are carriers of human parechovirus since early life.

Description: ViroReal® Kit Parechovirus uses RT real-time PCR for the detection of the polyprotein gene of human parechovirus strains 1-6. Our carefully designed primers and probe ensure highest sensitivity and specificity. The kit consists of an assay mix for the detection of the pathogen as well as a positive control and an internal positive control (IPC). Reverse transcription and PCR can be performed in one reaction well. For more detailed information see here.
