Rapid detection of Bunyaviruses using TaqMan® PCR technology

Description of the project:
The goal of this scientific project is the development of a rapid detection system to uncover the presence of Bunyavirus. Human pathogenic Bunyaviruses will be detected by TaqMan® PCR assays. The aim is to develop a quantitative genus specific multiplex TaqMan® PCR assay and to compare the sensitivity and specificity with conventional RT-PCR test systems. The assays will be standardized with biochemically synthesized RNA samples.
