Comparison between RT droplet digital PCR and RT real-time PCR for quantification of noroviruses in oysters.

Abstract excerpt

Oysters are frequently associated with norovirus outbreaks, but the presence of norovirus RNA in oysters does not necessarily imply a health risk to humans. There is a close link between human illness and consumption of oysters with high levels of norovirus RNA, but oysters with low levels of norovirus RNA are more unlikely to be associated with illness. Reliable and precise quantification methods are therefore...
