Design and Evaluation of a Macroarray for Detection, Identification, and Typing of Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia Virus (VHSV).

ABSTRACT: The viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) is the causative agent of an important disease in freshwater and marine fishes. Its diagnosis officially relies on the isolation of the virus in cell culture and its identification by serological or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methodologies. Nowadays, reverse transcription real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) is the most widely employed technique for the detection of this virus and some studies have reported the validation of RT-qPCR procedures for the detection, typing, and quantification of VHSV isolates. However, although the efficacy of this technique is not in doubt, it can be cumbersome and even impractical when it comes to processing large numbers of samples, a situation in which cross-contamination problems cannot be ruled out.
