Rapid detection of the virus in the affected pigs' feces is critical for controlling the disease outbreaks. The real-time RT-PCR assay described in this chapter can quickly detect the presence of TGEV in fecal samples with high sensitivity and specificity. The assay, along with the RNA extraction method described here, can be established in any molecular diagnostic laboratory for detection of TGEV in pig fecal samples [ 6 -8 ] . It is recommended that the nucleic acid extraction, preparation of master mix, and real-time PCR amplifi cation are performed in three physically separated areas. In our experience, RNA extracted from pig fecal samples using the following method is suitable for TGEV detection using the real-time RT-PCR assay.
