Background:  Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) is a DNA virus of the family Herpesviridae, subfamily Alphaherpesvirinae. BHV-1 can cause both clinical and subclinical infections in cattle, including infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR), infectious pustular vulvovaginitis (IBV) and infectious balanoposthitis (IBP). BHV-1 causes a lifelong latent infection in the trigeminal or sacral ganglia. Animals with a latent BHV-1 infection may serve as a source of infection for susceptible animals. BHV-1 is transmitted mainly through respiratory, ocular or genital secretions.

Description:  ViroReal® Kit Bovine Herpesvirus 1 uses real-time PCR for the detection of the UL27 gene of BHV-1. 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). To minimize PCR cross-contamination,the reaction mix included contains dUTP and uracil-N glycosylase (UNG).
