Development of a Usutu virus specific real-time reverse transcription PCR assay based on sequenced strains from Africa and Europe
12 Sept 2013
Abstract excerpt
Usutu virus (USUV) has been isolated in several African and European countries mainly from mosquitoes and birds. However, previous benign and two recent severe cases of human infections point out the need of a tool for the identification of USUV in human samples. A published real-time reverse transcription (RT) PCR assay for the detection of USUV in human blood or cerebrospinal fluid does not take into account...
