Since the main drawbacks of using DNA binding dyes such as SYBR Green I is detecting any double stranded DNA generated during PCR. In this study, several approaches were followed to cross-check the specificity of the newly developed assays: (a)by confirming the exact expected size of the amplicon, which resulted in 201 bp product. (b) generation of consistent melt peakat 84.6 ± 0.15 (c) lack of cross reactivity with range of viruses whichhave genetic or structural similarities to PPRV (d) sequence analysis of PCR product, which showed high identity with sequences of PPRV isolates available in GenBank.
