Journal ArticleDOI
PCR inhibitors - occurrence, properties and removal.
TL;DR: This review focuses on the general properties of PCR inhibitors and their occurrence in specific matrices and strategies for their removal from the sample and for quality control by assessing their influence on the individual PCR test are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Saif,Norma Santos,Andrej Steyer,Koki Taniguchi,John T. Patton,Ulrich Desselberger,Marc Van Ranst +25 more
TL;DR: With increasing numbers of complete RV genome sequences becoming available, a standardized RV strain nomenclature system is needed, and the RCWG proposes that individual RV strains are named as follows: RV group/species of origin/country of identification/common name/year of identification /G- and P-type.
Journal ArticleDOI
VP6-sequence-based cutoff values as a criterion for rotavirus species demarcation.
TL;DR: Indirect immunofluorescence techniques targeting the rotavirus (RV) protein VP6 are used to differentiate RV species and a potential new RV species, ADRV-N, has been described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proposed reference sequences for hepatitis E virus subtypes
B. Douglas Smith,Peter Simmonds,Jacques Izopet,Edmilson Ferreira de Oliveira-Filho,Rainer G. Ulrich,Reimar Johne,Matthias Koenig,Shahid Jameel,Tim J. Harrison,Xiang-Jin Meng,Hiroaki Okamoto,Wim H.M. van der Poel,Michael A. Purdy +12 more
TL;DR: A table of proposed complete genome reference sequences for each hepatitis E virus subtype is provided to facilitate communication between researchers and help clarify the epidemiology of this important human pathogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of a novel hepatitis E-like virus in faeces of wild rats using a nested broad-spectrum RT-PCR
TL;DR: A nested broad-spectrum RT-PCR protocol was developed capable of detecting different HEV types including those derived from wild boar and chicken and its suitability to serve in a laboratory rat animal model for human hepatitis E is assessed.
