Abstract excerpt
Oropouche virus (OROV) is an emerging virus that causes a wide spectrum of febrile illnesses in humans. In this study, we examined two of the most commonly used primer sets for the clinical diagnosis of OROV to identify potential reduction in diagnostic sensitivity or even escape due to genetic variability in the target regions of circulating strains. We also evaluated selective pressures on the S segment to...
