Research on Nipah virus infection in equine of Yili, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region / 重庆医科大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the epidemics of Nipah virus(NiV)in Yili, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Methods:One step real time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction(real-time RT-PCR)was performed to detect the NiV N in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 120 equines. Gene sequence and amino acid sequence were analyzed for positive products.Results:The positive rate of NiV N in PBMCs from 120 equines was 0%(0/120).Conclusion:The investigation do not support that NiV infection exist in Yili, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
