5. HEPATITIS A
Hepatitis A is a viral liver disease that can
cause mild to severe symptoms
The hepatitis A virus is transmitted by
ingestion of contaminated food or
beverages or by direct contact with a
person infected with the virus, Is
associated with lack of clean water and
poor sanitation
.
6. RT-PCR
•Amplification of RNA through previous
synthesis of DNA copy, using a reverse
transcriptase, followed by several cycles of
conventional PCR, this technique can
determine the expression of genes in
different tissues
7. OBJECTIVE
Evaluate
the
specificity
and
sensitivity in the conserved regions
of 3D gene of duck hepatitis A virus
genotype C (DHAV – C), using
reverse transcription loop-mediated
isothermal
amplification
(RTLAMP), for the prevention and rapid
disease diagnosis.
23. CONCLUSIONS
• The detection limit of RT-LAMP was about 100 times
higher than of the RT-PCR, which suggests that the RTLAMP was more sensitive than RT-PCR.
24. CONCLUSIONS
• The RT-LAMP is a simple technique of early diagnosis,
rapid, highly specific, sensitive and cost effective for the
detection and monitoring of potential infection DHAV-C.
• Primer design is crucial for the differentiation of DHAV-C
from other genotypes or the specificity of this assay.
25. CONCLUSIONS
• The RT-LAMP can be widely used in the field or
laboratory with limited resources, because their
results can be easily detected with the naked
eye due to increased turbidity or discoloration.
