SummaryMarek's disease is a viral disease, a type of poultry cancer. It is caused by MDV serotype 1 (Marek's disease virus, MDV) viruses, also referred to as Gallid herpesvirus 2 belonging to the family Herpesviridae. The complete, fully infectious virus particles are present in the feathers and the nodules months can survive in the environment for many months. The use of isothermal amplification methods of genetic material (LoopMediated Isothermal Amplification, LAMP) virus MDV enables rapid and precise identification of the virus in difficult diagnostic material, including dust. By optimizing the reaction conditions and using at least two pairs of primers which bind to specific sites in the genome of the virus, this technique has high sensitivity and specificity. The technique makes it possible to detect of single copies of the meq oncogene -a unique region of DNA of the first type of virus MDV.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
