Ribosite® Influenza A H9 Real-time PCR Detection kit

Influenza A H9 is a subtype of the Influenza A virus that primarily affects birds and poultry, but it can also infect humans. It is also known as avian influenza or bird flu. In birds and poultry, influenza A H9 can cause a range of symptoms, including respiratory distress, decreased egg production, and sometimes sudden death. The severity of symptoms can vary depending on factors such as the species, age, and stress levels of the birds. In humans, the symptoms of influenza A H9 are similar to those of other types of flu and can include fever, cough, sore throat, muscle aches, and fatigue. In some cases, it can also cause conjunctivitis (pink eye) and other eye-related symptoms. Human infections with influenza A H9 are relatively rare, and most cases have occurred in people who have had close contact with infected birds or poultry.
