The invention belongs to the technical field of
virus detection, and particularly relates to a PCR (
Polymerase Chain Reaction) detection kit for four vertical transmission viruses of
waterfowl and application of the PCR detection kit. The kit can rapidly, specifically and simultaneously amplify and diagnose
duck hepatitis virus type I (DHV-1), duck
Tembusu virus DTMUV, Muscovy duck reovirus MDRV and duck astrovirus DAstV, has high specificity and sensitivity, can accurately and rapidly identify DHV-1, DTMUV, MDRV and DAstV, can complete fluorescent quantitative PCR detection in about 50 minutes, and is simple to operate and practical. The detection period is shortened to 1.5 hours from 6-8 hours of a traditional method, the sensitivity is improved by 10-1000 times, the early diagnosis capability of epidemic diseases is remarkably improved, and the
epidemic disease misjudgment rate of a farm is obviously reduced. Abuse of vaccines and drugs is reduced, and
sustainable development of the poultry breeding industry is promoted.
