Abstract excerpt
It is now recognised that mixed viral infection, or infection of an individual with two or more distinct strains of a single viral species, often occurs particularly with RNA viruses.

These methods are not always accurate or sensitive at detecting mixed infection and cannot be used for large numbers of...
