BRSV and BVDV Rapid On-Site Assay Validation Data from Jilin Province, China

Field validation results for a pen-side diagnostic assay detecting two major bovine respiratory viruses. The data includes results from 46 archived respiratory samples and a field survey of nasal swabs from cattle farms in Jilin Province, China, where BRSV was detected in 10.87% and BVDV in 8.70% of specimens. Zhiteng Zhao authored this dataset, which was last updated on March 18, 2026.

Use Cases

• Validate a rapid diagnostic assay's performance based on comparison with qPCR results from 46 archived samples.
• Assess viral prevalence in a specific region based on field survey data from cattle farms in Jilin Province, China.
• Benchmark the sensitivity of a recombinase polymerase amplification method based on its reported detection of as few as 10 template copies.
• Evaluate assay specificity based on its 100% reported specificity against related bovine pathogens.

Strengths

• Assay demonstrated 100% specificity against related bovine pathogens.
• Results were identical to qPCR and obtained within 30 minutes without instrumentation.
• The dataset is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 31.6 KB, indicating limited scope.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
