A new multiplex RT-qPCR method for the simultaneous detection and discrimination of Zika and chikungunya viruses
outbreak, early diagnosis, and therefore fast and adequate detection, is needed. To this end, a multiplex reverse transcription real-time polymerase chain reaction TaqMan method was designed to detect Zika ...
A new multiplex RT-qPCR method for the simultaneous detection and discrimination of Zika and chikungunya viruses.
a multiplex reverse transcription real-time polymerase chain reaction TaqMan® method was designed to detect universally Zika and chikungunya viruses. DESIGN: Two methods, targeting different genome segments, ...
