Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of genetic engineering, in particular to a primer and a probe for detecting the S segment of Rift Valley fever virus. Background technique
[0002] Rift valley fever (Rift valley fever, RVF) is a serious zoonotic disease and an endemic disease that has been prevalent in the Grand Canyon of East Africa since ancient times. It is mainly transmitted among sheep, goats and cattle, and can often cause abortion in pregnant animals. Storm (abortion storm), young sheep mortality rate as high as 90%. The epidemic cycle of the disease is about 5-10 years. The disease can infect humans, and the patients show flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache and arthralgia. A few have hemorrhagic fever and encephalitis, and occasionally can cause retinitis and even blindness. The case fatality rate is about 1%. Up to about 50%. RVF is mainly transmitted by mosquitoes, has obvious seasonality, and can also be infected by contact. [0...
