ABSTRACT A new approach was developed for the rapid detection and identification of
Brazilian alphaviruses and flaviviruses. The methodology involves the genus-specific …

A reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) was developed for the
detection of Chikungunya virus infection. Based on the nonstructural protein 1 (nsP1) and …

A specific and sensitive nested RT-PCR method was developed for the detection of
members of the alphavirus genus. Based on available sequences, degenerated primers …

A selected number of PCR protocols were evaluated to determine if they could serve as a
universal protocol for detecting and identifying all arboviruses. In this study, four parameters …
