Metagenomic Analysis of Viruses in Feces from Unsolved Outbreaks of Gastroenteritis in Humans
23 Oct 2014
Abstract excerpt
The etiology of an outbreak of gastroenteritis in humans cannot always be determined, and ∼25% of outbreaks remain unsolved in New Zealand. It is hypothesized that novel viruses may account for a proportion of unsolved cases, and new unbiased high-throughput sequencing methods hold promise for their detection. Analysis of the fecal metagenome can reveal the presence of viruses, bacteria, and parasites which may...
