Porcine Delta coronavirus, PDCoV Real-time PCR Kit

This Porcine Delta coronavirus PDCoV Real-time PCR Kit is used to detect PDCoV in swine feces, small intestine, mesentery lymph nodes and feed, environmental samples.

The porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) is a member of the genus Deltacoronavirus. PDCoV affects the jejunum and ileum and causes gastrointestinal symptoms in piglets that can lead to dehydration and possibly death. There have also been reports of symptomatic infection, in experimental settings, in chickens, turkeys, calves, and even humans. The PDCoV spike glycoprotein binds to an interspecies conserved site, the host aminopeptidase N, which facilitates interspecies transmission, including humans (zoonosis).
