--- This study aimed to standardize and validate the real-time RT-PCR technique for diagnosis of Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis Virus (IPNV) in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in Peru. Kidney and spleen samples of rainbow trout (n=121) from two fish farms of Junin were taken, 61 animals showed signs of disease and 60 were apparently healthy animals. All samples were assessed by indirect immunofluorescence technique (IIF) to determine presence of virus. Real-time RT-PCR was carried out using a two-step commercial kit. We used WB1 and WB2 primers for amplification of a specific genomic segment of the VP2 structural protein. IPNV Sp strain and 10 samples inoculated with IPNV were used as positive controls; whereas related viruses, such as rotavirus and infectious bursal disease virus from chickens, as well as unrelated viruses were all used as negative controls. Also, we inoculated decreasing dilutions of virus into tissue samples to determine the sensitivity degree of the test. Results were assesssed according to the values of the threshold cycle (Ct) and melting temperature (Tm) of the amplified products. The test was able to detect the virus in concentrations up to 102 PFU/ml. All 121 field samples were negative for IPNV; sick animals were apparently infected by bacterial agents. Real Time RT-PCR’s specificity and sensitivity were around 100%; moreover, the positive predictive value and negative predictive value was also set in 100%. Real time RT- PCR technique standardized in our laboratory is a valuable diagnostic tool for IPNV detection in field samples.
