Popis: The development of a coupled reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction assay (RT-PCR) is described for the detection of African horse sickness virus (AHSV) double-stranded RNA. Genome segments 7 and 10 were chosen as target templates for primers selected for use in the RT-PCR. Using these AHSV-specific primers all 9 serotypes were detectable. The sensitivity and specificity of the RT-PCR results were compared to those obtained by competition ELISA.
