The E. coli-K99 PCR assay is specific for detection of the K99+ antigen and will not detect other strains of E. coli. The Bovine Rotavirus PCR assay is specific for Group A rotaviruses and will not detect other common rotaviruses (i.e., Group B, commonly detected in sheep and goats) Panel Includes: Bovine Coronavirus PCR (BCV, BCoV), Bovine Coronavirus PCR (BCV, BCoV), Bovine Rotavirus Type A PCR (BRV-A), Bovine Rotavirus Type A PCR (BRV-A), Cryptosporidium spp. PCR, Cryptosporidium spp. PCR, E.
