A Powerful Multiplex Serological Assay for Avian Influenza in Poultry (Webinar - 2017)

In addition to being a public health threat, avian influenza is also costly and potentially devastating to people whose livelihoods depend on raising poultry. To enable faster detection of bird flu and identification of its subtypes, scientists at Wageningen Bioveterinary Research in The Netherlands developed a multiplex assay using xMAP® Technology.

In this 20-minute video presentation, veterinarian Evelien Germeraad reports on the development and validation of that assay. Wageningen Bioveterinary Research, part of Wageningen University & Research, is a national reference lab for infectious animal diseases, receiving samples for testing from all over the country. The lab tests cattle, poultry, goats, and other types of animals for illnesses ranging from rabies and tularemia to psittacosis and foot-and-mouth disease. Scientists there run as many as 300,000 assays per year, of which 20,000 are deployed for avian influenza, the main focus of Germeraad’s talk.
