Sensitivity of RT-PCR method in samples shown to be positive for Zika virus by RT-qPCR in vector competence studies
Abstract Tissue samples from mosquitoes artificially infected with Zika virus and shown to be positive by RT-qPCR were reexamined by RT-PCR. Using these samples we compared the two methods employed in virus RNA detection for vector competence studies. Results demonstrated that, albeit useful, RT-PCR...
