| consensus nested pcr amplification and sequencing of diverse reptilian, avian, and mammalian orthoreoviruses. | the orthoreoviruses are segmented rna viruses that infect diverse vertebrate host species. while the most common human orthoreovirus, mammalian reovirus, is not typically associated with significant disease, the majority of orthoreovirus species have been shown to cause significant and often fatal disease in reptiles, birds, and primates. there is significant potential for jumping species. a consensus nested-pcr method was designed for investigation of the rna-dependent rna polymerase gene of or ... | 2009 | 18656318 |
