Melting temperatures of non-tailed/tailed panFMDV-3D forward primers were calculated using the nearest-neighbour thermodynamics model as implemented in Visual OMP (DNA Software) [41]. Secondary structure analyses were performed in Visual OMP (DNA Software) by modelling the interactions between the panFMDV-3D forward primer, 5’-nuclease probe and target sequences. Interactions were calculated at a reaction temperature of 60°C with the following reaction conditions: 50 nM monovalent cation, 3.3 nM divalent cation, 1 μM of primer and 1 pM of target. All other parameters were kept at their default values.
