Avian Influenza Virus (AIV) is a member of the Orthomyxoviridae family that primarily infects birds. This virus can cause acute respiratory diseases in avian species, and severe cases often result in high mortality rates. AIV is categorized into subtypes based on two surface proteins, namely hemagglutinin (H, such as H5, H7, H9) and neuraminidase (N, such as N1, N2). The H5 subtype of AIV is one of the relatively common and widely detected avian influenza viruses. It includes predominantly highly pathogenic strains that primarily circulate in avian species but have increasingly expanded their host range to various mammals, bringing huge economic losses to the poultry farming industry. While human infections remain sporadic, certain variants (e.g., H5N1, H5N6, H5N8) can cause severe respiratory disease with alarmingly high fatality rates. Therefore, rapid and accurate diagnosis of H5 is crucial. The Avian Influenza Virus H5 Subtype Nucleic Acid Detection Kit developed by SunshinyMed assists in the diagnosis of AIV H5 Subtype and public health management.

The SunshinyMed Avian Influenza Virus H5 Subtype Nucleic Acid Detection Kit uses the Reverse Transcription Quantitative Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR) method to qualitatively detect AIV-H5 RNA in specimens such as avian tissues, secretions, excreta, and chicken embryo allantoic fluid, providing a reliable basis for clinical disease diagnosis.
