The RT-PCR technique has been frequentely used for detection of the human parainfluenza virus type 3 (hPIV-3) but the literature is scarce in relation to the bovine parainfluenza virus type 3 (bPIV-3). The aim of this study was to describe a reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for detection of bovine parainfluenza virus type 3 (bPIV-3) using degenerate oligonucleotides targeting a conserved region of hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) gene. Reference strain SF-4 and three different brazilian bPIV-3 isolates, besides five viral strains from different sources, were included in this study. Viruses were cultured in MDBK cells under standard conditions. Hemagglutination (HA) test was used for viral titration and a direct immunofluorescence test (DFAT) for isolate screening. In RT-PCR all bPIV-3 isolates showed amplification of an expected 1009 bp fragment of HN gene, as oposed to non PIV-3 viral samples where no amplification was detected. Using SF-4 as positive control, sensitivity of 95 pg cDNA wasachieved. In spite of the low number of bPIV-3 isolates tested, the results obtained in this study point out the potential use of this technique for detection of bPIV-3 in bovine clinical specimens.

This journal provides open access to all of its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge. Such access is associated with increased readership and increased citation of an author's work. For more information on this approach, see the Public Knowledge Project and Directory of Open Access Journals.
We define open access journals as journals that use a funding model that does not charge readers or their institutions for access. From the BOAI definition of "open access" we take the right of users to "read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles" as mandatory for a journal to be included in the directory.
