Abstract

The aims of the proposed research are largely technical rather than scientific; to make a microarray for the detection of avian viruses and to develop robust procedures for the detection of viruses in bird tissues, using the microarray. The objectives are: Establish basic protocols for using a virus oligonucleotide-based microarray; A quantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCT) for avian coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus (IBV); To establish protocols for analysis of viruses in avian tissues; to make a large microarray based on sequences of 19 groups of viruses.
