Overview
Taura syndrome virus (TSV), the causative agent of Taura syndrome, mainly infects shrimp. Clinical signs include partial hardness or white lesions in muscle tissue, and leads to death. TSV is transmitted not only in Vietnam, Malaysia, and Thailand, but also in several Asian countries. It is causing enormous economic losses to the shrimp farming industry and is an aquatic disease designated by the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH).
Features
- Convenience
All necessary reactants for RT-qPCR such as RocketScript™ RTase, HotStart Taq DNA polymerase are included in a tube allowing the users to perform reaction simply by adding template RNA, oligo mix, and DEPC-D.W.
- Sensitivity
By using BIONEER’s PyroHotStart RT reaction and HotStart Taq DNA Polymerase that minimizes non-specific reactions and maximizes reaction efficiency, only the target gene can be effectively amplified even with a trace amount of template RNA
