Description
The White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) real-time qPCR detection kit from Primerdesign delivers rapid, specific detection of white spot syndrome virus, a DNA virus (family Nimaviridae) and notifiable pathogen that causes catastrophic mortality in farmed shrimp and other crustaceans worldwide. The TaqMan-based assay targets a conserved region of the viral DNA genome for confident detection of acute infections and sub-clinical carriers directly from extracted nucleic acid.
Each kit supplies a ready-to-use primer and probe mix together with a positive control template, providing a complete workflow from extracted DNA on any standard real-time PCR platform. The Advanced format additionally includes an internal extraction control to flag inhibition and a copy-number standard curve for absolute quantification of pathogen load.
