Bovine Coronavirus was the most prevalent virus detected by realtime PCR during this phase of the study, with 60% animals testing Table 2 Kappa values (95% CI) and percentage agreement for specimens collected into viral transport media compared to specimens collected onto FTA Cards. Bovine Respiratory Syncytial virus was detected using both the specimens in viral transport media and those on FTA Cards for 100% agreement; however the realtime PCR positive test result was for only one animal (Tables 1 and 2) . ./cache/cord-274289-8g9tuyrc.txt ./txt/cord-274289-8g9tuyrc.txt
