Complete laboratory diagnosis of Zika virus infections
Laboratory diagnosis of Zika virus (ZIKV) infections is based on two main pillars: direct detection of the viral RNA genome and serological detection of anti-ZIKV antibodies. Direct detection of the virus by reverse transcriptase real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT real-time PCR) is the most important method for diagnosing early acute infections. A new RT real-time […]
