Real time RT-PCR for the diagnosis of foot and mouth disease

EuroSciCon's 'PCR Perfection: Insider tricks' meeting is being held on October 3rd at The BioPark, Hertfordshire. It will feature many leading lights in the field of PCR and there will be plenty of opportunities for discussion.

 

Scott Reid PhD (Institute for Animal Health, UK) will be talking. He says,

 

“Rapid and accurate diagnosis is essential for effective control of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD).  I will describe the practical steps taken to use real-time RT-PCR (rRT-PCR) as a front-line laboratory diagnostic tool during the 2007 outbreaks of FMD in the United Kingdom. The practical considerations adopted for the processing of the samples, the deployment of rRT-PCR during the outbreaks and the advantages of the assay for laboratory diagnosis of FMD to support control decisions during the outbreaks will be discussed."

Welcome to Mums in Science

This site has been designed as a portal for busy mums who work or have worked in science.

Too many women leave science due to the constraints of motherhood. Some struggle, and work part time, at the expense of advancing their career. Others change their career to fit in with their children, whilst working within some area of science.

Our aims are :-

  • to create a community to provide mutual support,
  • to provide information to those who have the challenge of bringing up children and maintaining a career in science, whether full or part time, or outside mainstream science.

This site is updated regularly with new articles and occasional special offers. Everything is accessible on the site. However, if you would like to receive notices of new additions to the site you can subscribe to the site and receive e-mails as soon as a new article is posted to your selected categories or to all the site.

We welcome comments about MumsinScience, what you like, what you don't like, or how we can improve.

PLEASE LET US KNOW, just email comments@mumsinscience.net
