Development of a Reverse Transcription-PCR–DNA Enzyme Immunoassay for Detection of “Norwalk-Like” Viruses and Hepatitis A Virus in Stool and Shellfish

Abstract excerpt

Outbreaks of food- and waterborne gastroenteritis are being increasingly reported throughout the world. The analysis of environmental samples by newer diagnostic techniques such as reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) amplification of nucleic acid has begun to identify human enteric viruses (predominantly "Norwalk-like" viruses [NLVs]) as the cause of many of these outbreaks. To streamline NLV detection from...
