Novel Polyomavirus Detected in the Feces of a Chimpanzee by Nested Broad-Spectrum PCR
24 Feb 2005
Abstract excerpt
In order to screen for new polyomaviruses in samples derived from various animal species, degenerated PCR primer pairs were constructed. By using a nested PCR protocol, the sensitive detection of nine different polyomavirus genomes was demonstrated. The screening of field samples revealed the presence of a new polyomavirus, tentatively designated chimpanzee polyomavirus (ChPyV), in the feces of a juvenile...
