Diagnosis of Oropouche virus infection by RT‐nested‐PCR

Abstract excerpt

Using the RT-PCR with primers that anneal to the 5' and the 3' extremities of the genome segments of bunyaviruses and internal primers that anneal to the S segment of Simbu serogroup viruses in a nested PCR it was possible to amplify the Oropouche virus (ORO) genome from the sera of three patients. These results show that this RT-nested-PCR is a useful tool for rapid diagnosis of Oropouche fever infections.
