Abstract excerpt
Here, we report how the analysis of viral genetic variation using next-generation sequencing (NGS) can be used as a tool to improve mumps virus diagnostics. Analysis of NGS data from recently circulating mumps virus isolates allowed optimization of the current mumps virus real-time reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) by primer and probe modifications due to nucleotide variations. The modified assay showed a higher...
