Saudi Arabia: New Diagnostic For Current Strain H5N1

2011-07-07

In the midst of providing therapeutic Aelloukaúaat of the most deadly diseases in the world, such as "bird flu", which is associated with the landmarks of the economic crisis, the researcher was able to Saudi Princess Najla girl Saud to provide technical and genetic calculated "to Saudi Preventive Medicine," a new way to fight the disease.
And able researcher added value for the diagnosis of avian "H5N1" and design a new first of its kind to detect strains modified for the Kingdom (strains Saudi Arabia) and to reduce the spread of the epidemic in the Kingdom if it occurs, depending on the molecular genetics in the new technology.

What constitutes innovation researcher - a Ph.D. thesis of modern King Abdulaziz University in Jeddah - the first patent in the Kingdom of the method of diagnosis of the disease different from the diagnosis of Europe, where they adopted in their search for a new application of the virus according to the nature of the bird kingdom, which from which to determine the diagnosis accurately and in record time .

The researcher indicated that the importance attached to patent lies in that the means of diagnostic molecular genetic currently used between the diagnosis of the virus and the discovery of strains of "mutant" new, which increases the risk of negative results are incorrect due to a mutation of the current strain of the virus to another strain, not the lack of The presence of the virus.

She stressed that the development of a new way with the value of "PCR" and the "Real time PCR" has made tremendous strides from the continued success during the present century, and most important of these techniques of molecular genetic techniques for the detection of this disease epidemic. It is hoped that this development to give added value to the means of diagnosis of avian influenza virus, and by the discovery of the virus and follow the development of new strains of it, and define the attributes immune it, which gives an opportunity for the quick response of an endemic situation arising from the spread of these strains, which increases the chances of success to contain the epidemic before they cause a disaster, local or global.

She stressed that the new technology that was developed specifically for the strains of Saudi Arabia of avian influenza virus fully compatible with those strains Saudi Arabia, in contrast to the way other that are not designed based on sequences of the DNA of the strains of Saudi Arabia, where the results of the analysis of information vital to these prefixes and a degree of incompatibility between the sequences of these primers and DNA sequences of the viral strains of influenza virus from Saudi Arabia birds. The results of the analysis of PCR real time RT results of bioinformatics analysis, where results showed that the way in Saudi Arabia specialized strains of avian influenza virus have a higher degree of sensitivity of these methods are not specialized.
