Epidemiology of rotavirus electropherotypes determined by a simplified diagnostic technique with RNA analysis.

abstract：:Many bunyaviruses of the Bunyamwera and California serogroups are medically important human pathogens. The development of an effective technique to detect the viruses by using molecular biologic tools, such as PCR, improves not only clinical diagnosis but also virologic surveillance of mosquito vectors in the field. I...
