Sequences of circovirus associated with piglet slimming disease (MAP)

摘要

1. Method for the detection and / or identification in a biological sample of a type B MAP circovirus, characterized in that it comprises: a) contacting said biological sample with an isolated polypeptide encoded by a nucleotide sequence having at least one identity 90% with the sequence SEQ ID No. 12 and which corresponds to the ORF'2 of a type B circovirus, said polypeptide comprising a specific epitope of the type B MAP circovirus presented by at least one polypeptide selected from SEQ ID No. 17, SEQ ID No. 18, SEQ ID No. 19 and SEQ ID No. 20, and b) detect the eventually formed antigen-antibody complexes.
