Firstly, the detection of viruses by molecular techniques may not necessarily indicate that the detected virus is a causative agent of respiratory symptoms since it does not fulfill Koch's postulate.
The identification of the detected virus is carried out by sequencing.
Fourthly, we did not assess whether the detected virus particles could replicate in human cells and therefore had no information regarding the viruses' viability or infectivity, both of which are clinically important.
To overcome this sampling difficulty, we used ventilator filters as a collection device, since these filters collect a large volume of air which potentially increases the yield of detected virus particles.
After a new study dealt what many consider a lethal blow to the controversial theory that a newly detected virus, XMRV, is linked to chronic fatigue syndrome, proponents and skeptics squared off.
DWV was the most commonly detected virus in pollen loads of honey bees.
The RVP assay yields no specimen-specific viral gene sequences that could be used for more detailed identification and differentiation of detected virus strains and variants of detected virus es).
Here, we attempt to elucidate how these factors may relate to the emergence and spread of this newly detected virus.
B19V is the most commonly detected virus in patients presenting with acute myocarditis or DCM/DCMi [5], [6], [7], [8].
Co-infections occurred in 29.4% (69/235) of infected patients and rhinovirus was the most detected virus (27.5%).
Cases that met the clinical definition and the initial antibody screening that detected virus specific antibodies, were classified as probable cases.
