Figure 2. Analytical sensitivity of triplex and reference method PCRs on samples from experimentally infected animals.
(A) Viral RNA, extracted from blood samples taken at various time points post challenge from 2 animals (circles or squares) experimentally infected with CSFV and analysed by triplex RT-PCR (filled symbols) or CSFV RT-nPCR-TaqMan assay (open symbols). (B) Viral RNA, extracted from homogenised spleen samples taken from 6 pigs euthanized at various time points post challenge with ASFV and analysed by triplex RT-PCR (filled symbols) and ASFV-PCR (open symbols).
