Development of a direct reverse-transcription quantitative PCR (dirRT-qPCR) assay for clinical Zika diagnosis
13 Jun 2019
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The nucleic acid-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay is commonly applied to detect infection with Zika virus (ZIKV). However, the time- and labor-intensive sample pretreatment required to remove inhibitors that cause false-negative results in clinical samples is impractical for use in resource-limited areas. The aim was to develop a direct reverse-transcription quantitative PCR (dirRT-qPCR)...
